HEY AIESEC! What’s Up? Dear Sir/madam, What do you think about the term ’Changing The World’? Does it sound wonderful to you? Or the contrary, foolish? What crosses your mind when you hear ‘change the world’? Do you think it’s something that can be done? Is it really possible for us to change the world from as it is? In AIESEC, we’ve strived to change the world since the year of our establishment in 1948. We believe that it is possible for the world to be changed, the key question is how, in what way do we believe that the world can be changed? In this newsletter, we present you the commitment we’ve done from July-September 2016 in changing the world. We know that we are still far from our goal ‘Peace and Fulfillment of Humankind’s Potential’ but we believe from these little things we’ve done, change is bound to happen. Yours sincerely, AIESEC in BINUS.
