Browse for Change with Opera and YCAB Foundation involves two steps.

First, we give the chance to Indonesians to help YCAB by downloading Opera Mini. Every download is free, but we will donate 10 cents per download to the foundation. A major part of the donation will go to the YCAB community learning centers. Community learning centers in Indonesian is Rumah Belajar. If you are in Indonesia, you can join Browse for Change by downloading Opera Mini for free from micropage.opera.com/bfc.

Second, we go hands-on and teach in the foundation’s community learning center. Some of our colleagues are now in Jakarta and are teaching over 200 students about today’s online technology. The students learned a lot about the Internet from our Creative Director Espen Andre Øverdahl, one of our QA engineers for Opera Mini Greg Di Stefano, and Skyfire QA engineer Albert Sutojo. They visited four Rumah Belajar – in Manggarai, Dorkas, Cipinang and Duri Kepa.

Espen talked about Norway and Opera Software products, Greg discussed the Mobile Phone History, and Albert spoke about the importance of the Internet towards education and shared his experiences as an Indonesian living in the U.S.

Helping and encouraging students to reach higher education and achieve their dreams is truly an inspiration to us at Opera.
