Day 1 – from Oswald Norton
Last afternoon our Subud World Congress began with speeches from Indonesian and WSA dignitaries, an official rice mountain, cut by Ibu Rahayu’s sisters and presented to the Indonesian officials, acknowledgement of the representatives that are here from each country and entertainment.
Entertainment included an opening piece with multiple costume changes by a renowned exotic dancer, a specially created Dayak folk dance and a performance from the Children’s Choir of Bina Cita Utama (BCU) School that included “We Are The World” that all attendees were invited to sing along with.
