Workshop and yearly meeting of Pangudi Luhur Credit Union “KASIH”

This meeting/workshop was held from 13 - 15 February 2014, at Wisma Eden in Kaliurang, Yogyakarta. The participants numbered about 106, including the adviser, Pangudi Luhur Credit Union Board, Management staff of Pangudi Luhur Credit Union “Kasih”, Consultants, and the Brothers FIC. The brothers who took part in this event were more than 15 including Frans Sugi, Gregorius Bambang, Hans Gendut (YPL foundation), Petrus Sutimin, Heribertus Iriyanto, Yohanes Hartoko, and Petrus Anjar and others from our schools and institutions.

The Pangudi Luhur Credit Union “Kasih” was established in 2010, when Bro. Theodorus was the head of YPL Office center in Semarang.

Most of the members are our co-workers and their families. At the end of 2013 the members were about 2000, including 148 brothers. A lot of the students put their pocket money in this Credit Union account. We encouraged our co-workers and their families, and also the students to save their money for their welfare in the future. We gave them the opportunity to get a loan from this Credit Union with low interest rate.

Fr. Fredi Rante Taruk, from the Economic Empowerment Committee of Indonesian Bishops Conference, gave a session on “Financial Literacy” with the title “360 degrees skill of finance for the members of Credit Union”. This session made the participants more aware of their commitment to the development of Pangudi Luhur Credit Union. On the last day, Bro. Frans Sugi officially accepted and approved the yearly plan 2014 and financial report of 2013. We hope that Pangudi Luhur Credit Union “Kasih” will grow and develop both in the quantity and quality aspects, for the sake of the welfare of its members.
