Next to this Krida Art Group we started a new project. In the Krida Home-Stay (KHS 1) This is a project from Frodo-Production together with the Krida Boarding School. We invited 15 students to come and stay for 4 weeks with guest-parents in Holland. There they joined daily activities and went to all different places and got to know the way of life in Holland. The group did also traveled with train around Europe and visited 6 country's. This is separate from the Krida Art group.

Miss Krida, so silent and beautifull

From 23 July 2004 till end of August Ibu Pudji and Pasha visited Indonesia. Her husband and a few friends joined them beginning August and they visited together Krida.

In 2003 the Krida Art Group 2 was from 1 till 22 July in Europe. That go to The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and Germany. They performed in Izegem, Terneuzen, Bitburg and Schagen. After the second tour of Krida we can say that this is a great adventure for all of us. The students learned a lot from Europe and the way of living here. They stayed with guest-parents and also in Hotel. They worked together, joined other groups during festivals, met al lot of people from many country's.

In Izegem (Belgium) it was every evening full and a lot of people said Krida doing only a part of the whole program of Krida. They visited several country's and a lot of places. Together they went to Kampen, Zaandam and of course to Volendam. The boys enjoyed in front of the Ajax-stadium in Amsterdam. Together they visited Brussels (Atomium) and Luxemburg during their trip to Bitburg, it was very interesting. To walk in a parade in Bitburg with 65.000 visitors is great and then to perform on several places. Krida had a great place to stay, good facilities and the organisation was nice. After every performance Krida met the public and got great respond. In Schagen the wether was less but the public was amazed when the girls did the Rampai Aceh (dance with the thousand hands) During the great parade the rain started and Krida had to stop but later they did several performances in the town. This together with the Indonesian evening in the new Scheldetheater at Terneuzen made the tour to a success.

The guest-parents in Sluiskil, Izegem and Schagen remember the members as great guests and enjoyed their stay. To say goodbye was always very difficult so we said see you again. Krida art group 2 had great students, but was also one great group, helping the other members and supporting all when needed, pleasant and friendly. They can be proud that they where member of that group.

In 2002 the Krida Art Group 1  was visiting Europe from 7 till 25 July 2002. They visited The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. The group performed in Sluiskil, Schoten, Terneuzen, Tilburg, Paris and Frankfurt.

We still remember the first tour as a good time for all.
