Success, success, success! Smile, smile, smile! Joy, joy, joy!
No doubt everyone had a memorable moment and experience in promoting our Indonesia to more than 60,000 New Zealanders, which is the highest record of direct encounter to the NZ people. We had successfully entertained Kiwi family and kids and given them fun and joy to see our smiles, colourful costumes, variety of dances, interesting musical shows and float.
We have also achieved our objective to show the Indonesian soft power of friendly and broad-minded attitudes towards New Zealanders in particular, and The Western world in general, with the characteristic of tolerant, not prejudiced and Christmas joy. Rather than the other way around, unfriendly, narrow-minded, intolerant attitudes and possibly shallow thinking, which may not be suitable, or potentially unsympathetic, for the New Zealand environment or Down Under in general.
Our funding scheme is in the form of partnership between us through donations and the main sponsors Indonesian Embassy and Defence Attache Office without touching the other society or cultural funding cake. Indonesian participation in the Wellington Santa Parade is not a competing-funded cultural and society activity, but it is fundamentally a supportive society activity to promote Indonesia to New Zealanders.
Around September and October 2015, there will be an invitation of expression of interest to participate in the 2015 Wellington Santa Parade.
We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all parties and participants that had been involved in the parade. Apologies if any names are missed in this thank you notes and statements of appreciation.
Kind regards
Jeffry Liando (Parade Coordinator)
