It was an honor to visit with the Consulate General of Indonesia in San Francisco. These opportunities are what we strive for as an organization. Thank you KJRI San Francisco for taking the time to visit The Commons.
In Fall of 2020, the Consulate General of Indonesia in San Francisco and Indo Idaho Community met at the Global Lounge Commons.
Global Lounge is a nonprofit organization that continuously promotes the cultural diversity in Boise through activities such as festivals, expo, and networking expansion.
Indonesia previously has participated in one of their events “World Village Festival” in 2019.
Indo Idaho Community expressed their interest to participate in the Boise Music Festival next year to introduce Indonesian traditional music to the people in Boise.
Global Lounge was excited to have Indonesia to join the event and would assist Indo Idaho Community to participate in the Festival.
