Sumbangsih: Bring Indonesian Culture to our Schools

Sumunar had a very successful fund raiser on Sunday, November 6 · 3:00pm - 5:30pm
in the Atrium of University Technology Enterprise Center (UTEC) at 1313 5th Street SE
This event raised funds for Sumunar school residencies. Delicious Indonesian appetizers and refreshments were served, live entertainment was enjoyed, and joyful highlights of past residencies in schools were presented. 

            

Keep Our Residencies Going!

Each year around 2000 students, kindergarten through college, learn to perform Indonesian music and dance, thanks to the skill and guidance of Sumunar’s artist teachers, Joko and Tri Sutrisno. Concurrently, these students are introduced to many facets of Indonesian culture.

Recently Sumunar has experienced an unexpected loss of funding critical to several residencies already scheduled. We don’t want to disappoint these students. We are developing a Sumunar Supplement fund that will assist schools in funding these residencies, and we need your help.

If you couldn't attend the fundraiser, please donate online athttp://www.sumunar.org/, or mail a check to Sumunar, 1313 5th St. SE, Minneapolis, MN 55414. 

Hundreds of school children will thank you for your support!
