a wonderful woman

She's a Capable Mother.

She has sensitivity and a concerned character that led her to start Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa (YCAB). Her name is Veronica Colondam. The establishment of YCAB as an anti drug foundation that campaigns for prevention was not easy and the journey was at time long and arduous. Currently, YCAB is developing its knowledge and improving its methods. This non profit foundation was established on the 13th of August 1999 and it has since then developed methods to save the youth of the nation from drug abuse. By accessing a variety of sources both local and international and by tapping into fresh ingenuity and initiative, YCAB has established effective concepts and ideas. "YCAB establishment was born out of my deep concern over the circulation of drugs in Indonesia that has escalated recently. Like any other mother, I was anxious over the prospect of my own children growing up in this kind of environment. I then realized that there was something I could do for my children and for Indonesia's youth" she said. And now, as it enters its fourth year, YCAB has become well-known both locally and internationally and it has received recognition for its efforts in drug prevention. For her efforts, the United Nations awarded Veronica, the 3rd United Nations-Vienna Civil Society Award in Vienna December 2001.
