About Me

Hello! My name is Aloysius. I am 25 year old from Indonesia. Currently, I live in Bekasi, West Java province with my parents and brothers.

Since I was 5, dancing has been my great passion. I always dream to become a professional dancer and teach youngsters. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to go through any proper education or course in dance when I was young, but always persistently trained myself hard all by myself. When I was in high school, I established my own dance community and managed to collect more than 100 achievements through dance competitions ranging from local to national levels that made me get scholarship to continue my dance education in Singapore. After 3 years of study, I came back to Indonesia to share my knowledge and experiences. I personally feel that dance has changed my life so much. I learn to be tough, persistent, optimistic, hardworking and not every teenager in Indonesia know how to incorporate these precious values to their life through dancing. My mission is to educate and train young people who have the same passion in dance to learn a lot of positive life values such as: leadership, teamwork, positive thinking, determination, problem solving, etc through dance as a fun and interesting way. It's my passion to encourage and motivate young people to appreciate their time by doing something positive using their talents rather than wasting time doing something useless.

My Business

Through the community that I have been established since high school, I expand my mission by providing a place for young people where I can teach them all my knowledge that I have experienced overseas. Since it is not a dance school or studio (because I do not work commercially. I teach people voluntarily), sometimes it is hard for me to pay rental fee and all its expenses. My community is having more members day by day but does not have enough place to rehearse and train our skills yet every year the rental fee is getting more expensive than I expect.

Since I am not qualified enough to borrow money from bank, through Zidisha, I hope that I can find someone who is willing to help me lending money so that I can pay my rental fee and provide them a deserve place to learn dance, to teach and share my positive dance values. It is a pity to see that there is not enough appreciation for dancers here, so I kind of hard to find sponsors that can help me and my community to grow and survive. Also, not every member in my community comes from quite wealthy family. To me dance is for everybody even if you come from a poor family.

For additional information, I have several dance crews that always join competitions every month. They are trained to dance well and also good in personality. By winning several dance competitions every month, we will use the money prize to pay back money that we borrow from Zidisha. We have won hundreds of achievements and very optimistic to win with our determination and dedication. We will work hard for it.

Your help is very precious for me and my community.

Feel free to check my blog for more information regarding my activities here in Indonesia.

Loan Proposal

I am going to spend the money to buy a new set of audio speakers and to replace some light bulbs and switches that have been damaged in the studio so it can be used to practice at night. Along with the increasing number of students, sometimes my studio is not capable to accommodate the total number of them. It makes me me think to use the outdoor field behind the studio as an additional place to rehearse. Therefore, the lighting becomes important when we rehearse at night. Also, If I have two or three sets of audio speakers, each team can practice using the music without having to borrow from each other which will make the rehearsal become more effective.

      Dear Zidisha and all lenders,____First of all I would like to apologize for not writing any updates for quite long time. My father had just died of a stroke. He could not walk properly for more than a year. The last three months his condition declined rapidly. His body weight shrinked drastically. He also experienced difficulties in speaking, drinking, eating and doing so many things unless with the help of other family members. It was really saddening to see everyday he struggled to survive and keep optimistic yet deep down inside his heart he often felt that he knew he might not be fully recovered as before. Various kinds of treatments have been tried to cure my father but the results were not really significant. Once again I really want to apologize for not making repayment on time. I promise I will try my best to repay my whole loan before its due date on February after I recover my financial situation. I and my family had spent so much money concentrating on my father's treatments for these past 6 months as well as taking care his funeral. I do not want to make it as an excuse but I hope you all could understand. Thank you so much.

    Dear all lenders,

    I apologize for my late updates regarding my current loan due to bad internet connection here and. Also, I just recovered from having a severe illness. Here I want to inform you all that I have fully received my loan and I am so happy and thankful about that. I have used the loan to help me paying my studio rental fee. In Indonesia, it is a common thing to pay one whole year fee when we decide to rent a place. Since it is not really affordable for me, the loan that I received from Zidisha is definitely more than useful. We are still collecting money by winning more competitions to fulfill the rest of rental fee. Also, I am so happy and feel honored to have a chance to meet and be visited by Julia Kurnia who is really inspiring. By seeing her passion sincerely visiting one by one of us here around my area and others, hearing our stories and difficulties as well as telling more information about Zidisha really inspired me to even work harder for my community.

    Once again thank you so much Zidisha and all lenders! I will update more information later because currently most of us are still having final examinations at school.

    Have a good day everyone!

      Designation. Zidisha____Saya have repeatedly gone back and forth to the Gallery Indosat. They told me my wallet account is active but in reality always failed every time I tried to access. Is it possible that if the funds transferred to the account of BNI alone? I really - really need the funds in the near future and my wallet in my opinion is not very practical. Indosat gallery was far from my home and services tend to be impractical. I like not getting satisfactory answers and solutions of the Indosat .____ Thanks .______ Aloysius.

        Ibu mungkin saya bisa share pengalaman sebagai pertimbangan. Saya telah mengalami hal yang sama, saya bolak-balik ke gallery Indosat sebanyak 5 kali ke Depok dan saya dari Jakarta cukup jauh. Kadang kala staf di gallery Indosat ada yang tidak mengerti permasalahan kita, (tidak memiliki cukup skill teknis). Akhirnya kartu Indosat yang di hp lama, saya pasang di handphone baru yang saya beli yaitu Samsung seharga Rp 250.000 dan transaksi lancar. Coba ibu pindahkan kartu sim Indosat ke hp lain, mungkin bisa lancar. Semoga pengalaman saya bermanfaat.

          Zidisha sudah tidak ada kerjasama lagi dengan BNI jadi sudah tidak connect dengan BNI. Sebenarnya Indosat Dompetku lebih mudah kalo sudah tidak ada problem.

        Yth Ibu aloysus, mohon maaf baru saya lihat profil ibu, apakah ibu masih kesulitan aktivasi akun Indosat Dompetku? Jika ibu butuh bantuan silahkan hubungi saya atau siapa saja anggota yang kesulitan dalam hal aktivasi silahkan kirim nomornya supaya tidak mengeluarkan biaya yang sangat besar. Saya siap membantu kepada semua anggota dan calon anggota zidhisa yang kesulitan untuk akses di Indosat. Saya juga tidak mengharapkan sesuatu dari bantuan saya karena niat saya ikhlas membantu secara sukarela. Terima kasih

        Salam sukses selalu bersama Zidhisa.
