Celebrating Indo Culture: SoCal Indo Unites and Educates Across Borders
Yes, I proudly identify as Indo and am passionate about uniting Southern California's Indo community while raising awareness of our unique ethnicity and history through SoCal Indo.
What began as a lighthearted gesture with SoCal Indo Apparel, featuring our distinctive black and white logo, quickly evolved into a significant movement. Initially seen as Hispanic in SoCal, I aimed to foster dialogue and connections among Indos, a goal that has resonated far beyond our local borders.
SoCal Indo has grown into a thriving community, facilitating cultural celebrations and heritage preservation through local events, social media, and charitable initiatives. For instance, our Facebook Page recently reunited my 91-year-old father with his childhood friend from Buitenzorg, last seen in 1945, at TTF Den Haag in 2019.
This platform also supports elderly Indos and Indonesian orphans in Surabaya and Semarang through fundraising and awareness campaigns.
Furthermore, SoCal Indo serves as an educational resource on Indo-Dutch history and culture, fostering unity and understanding among our followers worldwide. Together, we cherish our roots in the former Dutch East Indies and are committed to preserving our heritage for future generations.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to supporters across America, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, France, Sweden, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, and Indonesia. Your unwavering Indo Love and Support have made SoCal Indo a true success story.
