Take A Break (With Web-Seminars)

Good morning, afternoon, and evening to you, where ever you are, and whenever you are reading this. We from padangbolasepak.com and REKREASI, hope that you are well and staying safe during these strange and difficult times.

Sincerest thank you for the warm and loving reception of the Karangan Bola Sepak initiative, we must be honest. We didn’t expect this initiative to roll out as it did. With so many people from the football community submitting and wanting to share their football joy. Getting inspired, in that, inspiring others to write their essays, sharing their joy of the beautiful game. Keep on writing and submitting until this Movement Control Order is done with.

For today, we will be taking a bit of a break from posting the essays. And want to share with everyone an initiative from our community and strategic partner, Cempaka Schools. The school has recently started an online web-seminar for their students and faculties, a Webinar Series, of 30 minutes. Featuring former students sharing about their careers in respective industries from the arts to society to medicine and more. So far they have produced three episodes and an incoming fourth on April 3, 2020, with a medical profession.

We thought it will be a great opportunity to share with you their insights. And maybe you can gain some new knowledge about other industries as well as obtain some fresh inspirations about what to do next.

Please do enjoy them!
