Congratulations to the Indonesia Vegetarian Society for hosting a hugely successful IVU World Vegetarian Congress in Jakarta, 1-6 Oct. About 5000 people attended from all over Indonesia and about 20 other countries, including Afghanistan and Iran.

Highlights included science contests for secondary school and university students, art and dancing sessions for younger children, a wonderful variety of Indonesia dishes including an amazing assortment of tempeh creations, appearances by representatives of Indonesia's ministries of tourism, environment and health, great national media coverage, an insightful and inspiring collection of presentations, opportunities to learn from and socialize with activists from around the world, and, last but not least, fabulous Indonesian hospitality.
