Presidents Visit DBE-MBE Activities
In November 2006 after an APEC meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam, the US President, George Bush and his wife, Laura made a brief visit to meet the Indonesian President, Bpk Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his wife, Ibu Ani Kristianti. The meeting took place in the presidential palace in Bogor, West Java. On 20 November the US president arrived at the Halim Perdanakusuma airport and was taken by helicopter to Bogor, which was very quiet, because many of the roads in the town had been closed for the day to guarantee the safety of the VIPs. Several displays had been setup inside and around the palace by the Indonesian government.

USAID also held an event to show off its education program in Indonesia. A DBE assisted school, SD Papandayan 1 was chosen to create model classrooms in a tent in the Botanical Gardens in Bogor, next to the palace. Two classrooms where created: a grade 6 room, where a science lesson was organized and a grade 2 room, where reading and writing activities took place. In the grade 2 room there was a special guest, Elmo, a symbol of the assistance being given by USAID in developing the TV program Sesame Indonesia, which is due to start broadcasting later in 2007.
