“Hello World!” My name’s Fazle. I’m an 11th grader(2nd grade senior high) student in Indonesia.
I first came across EA from the book ‘Impact’ by Christen Brandt and Tammy Tibbetts. I bought this book alongside 2 other books, ‘Immune’ & ‘Kingdom of Speech’ Forgot the specific reason why I choose Impact & Kingdom of Speech out of all available books I could choose, but one thing for sure is ‘to broaden my horizons.‘ Immune coz its Kurzgesagt’s. At the time, when ‘Impact’ mentioned Effective Altruism, I have no idea what is it. Is this some sort of system? A method to do things? etc. I didn’t get it at all.
That’s when, around 2 days later, Kurzgesagt uploaded their most recent video in which at the end of the video, they mentioned that EA is a global movement. Then I looked up EA. Knowing that I could be a part of this change-making community, here I am!
I’m interested in reshaping the education system. This outdated system… If only this system were as updated as our technological advancement… Won’t it make it easier to have a better world?
Oh well. I might be inexperienced and can’t help much. But my long ahead is still pretty long… damn I can still barely see my starting point.
I’m happy that I could be a part of this community, and I wish to learn more through all you guys!
I watched the Kurtzgesagt video too and was so hyped if it would bring new people to the plattform. Nice to see you here. I hope you can get the necessary information for you out of here and learn something. :)
I think local groups are a great way to engage with EA. I’ve met a few EAs from Indonesia, but I’m not sure about the state of local groups there. Maybe you can contact Bradley and ask if there are local or online meetups in your area :)

Love the passion Fazle. Welcome brother!
Welcome Fazle,
a good way to learn more about EA is to participate in the Intro Fellowship. Take a look here:

Hi Fazle!
