The Roberts in Korea

A Quick Visit to Indonesia

Last week I (Ryan) made a quick visit to Jakarta, Indonesia.  My visit to that amazing place was for a short time and was filled with meetings and work, but nonetheless, it was a real treat for me to visit the country of Indonesia.  The hot, humid, sweet smelling tropic air along with the heavy traffic (motorcycles), the skyscrapers and the precious Indonesian people all converged in my heart and mind and exist as a significant memory. 

My co-workers and I stayed in a beautiful hotel just outside of Jarkarta that had an amazing pool area.  Unfortunately, I didn't have time to swim, but I did take pictures.  During the visit to Jarkarta I enjoyed visiting the outstanding educational institutions of Universitas Pelia Harapan and the Secola Pelita Harapan International School.  Someday I would like to visit Jakarta again and take the time to swim in the pool and enjoy the sights and experiences of the country, the culture and its people.

Let the Games Begin!

The 2011-12 TCIS Girls' varsity volleyball season has begun.  This is a unique season for many reasons.  Becca is a senior this year, this is her fourth year as a varsity player and she is the co-captain of her team.  This year Becca is joined on the court by her sister Sarah, who is a sophomore and is playing on the varsity squad this season.  The Roberts girls are a force to be reckoned with on the court as the girls' team is off to a 3-0 start for the season. 

The girls' varsity team is being led this year by a new coaching staff...Coach Ashleigh and Coach Dina.  Dina Roberts is the assistant coach of the TCIS girls' varsity volleyball team.  It is fun to see all three of the Roberts girls on the court this season.
