Dear Friends,

Today was a historic day for Lily & Eddy (my publisher) and my series, "The Tale of Didgit Cobbleheart." Around 300 people, children and adults, individuals and corporations as well as media representatives gathered in The Maestro, Level 4, Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta, to celebrate this memorable moment with our family.

Three prominent figures moderated and participated in our mini talk show, discussing the "Applications of Value Teachings and Character Buildings for Children in Their Professional and Personal Lives." Dr. Lucia R.M. Royanto, M.Si., Sp.Ed., Psi. (University of Indonesia- educational psychology expert) moderated the panel consisting of Ms. Irawaty Setiady, MSc. (CEO, Kalbe Farma) and Prof. DR. Arief Rachman (education expert) and Ms. Helena Muljanto (Director, Lily & Eddy).

Each of our speakers related their respective expertise to the theme, and all agreed that character building was as important as any other skills children need to develop.
