And second, a warning that this is not an intellectual post by any means...
Usually my blog updates stories about my time abroad or contains something actually pertinent to my life at the time. However, this blog is really none of those things. This blog is just me entertaining a comment I made once saying that our AUA group in Indonesia reminds me of Totally Spies. Except, I've chosen the title of our series to be Java Girls, based off the Facebook group chat I created for Suraiya, Sarah, and I to communicate in before we left America.
I direct quote from the Totally Spies series overview on Wikipedia:
The series centers around the adventures of three teenage girls - Sam, Alex and Clover - who live a double life as spies working for the World Organization of Human Protection (WOOHP). The girls are recruited by the organization's leader, Jerry Lewis, to solve crises that arise around the world.
My new description for Java Girls:
Our time on the island of Java centers around the adventures of three young women - Winona, Suraiya, and Sarah - who live a double life as unofficial ambassadors working for the World Organization of Human Protection (AUA). The girls are recruited by the organization's leader, Ben Orbach, to intern with organizations that solve crises that arise around the world.
See? Pretty much the same thing. Also, we've totally got the hair colors down. So here's a breakdown of the Totally Spies / Java Girls characters:
Suraiya (Alex): Although originally from Canada, she is a citizen of the world who puts her passion and enthusiasm toward promoting tolerance in the interfaith community. (Ironically, for part of the show Alex is voiced by a Canadian.)
Winona (Sam): When she manages to stay in one place long enough, she gets involved fighting for international causes; the most current of which is alongside Suraiya for the freedom of religious pluralism in Indonesia.
Sarah (Clover): The leader of the group, an ambitious and passionate world traveler who is fighting injustice against women's health and LGBTQ rights (amongst other causes through PKBI).
So, without further ado, I present to you.... Java Girls!
