Final Day of the TITIP Visit

Most of the last day of the visit from our TITIP friends was spent in meetings.  They met with the administrative council in the morning to iron out details of getting their students started in our distance education program and in the afternoon met with our faculty. PIU faculty got to see a presentation about what TITIP is doing in Indonesia and we got to know each other a little better. We now have four students from Papua, Indonesia accepted and ready to register for the next semester with a potential for several others for the future and we have a teacher from TITIP coming for the January semester to work with us and build the relationship further.

  On Monday night, we went to the home of Siska and Edward Hutapea for dinner. The Hutapea’s are from Indonesia, and Siska is a member of the PIU advisory board. Edward and Siska attend the Lutheran Church of Guam and the TITIP team were introduced to them when they attended there on Sunday (left). We had a great time on Monday evening eating Thai food, talking about Indonesia and our schools, and being entertained by the Hutapea children. The Hutapea’s also have an amazing Christmas tree!
