The sad news came from our Rumah Budaya Indonesia. We lost our beloved Tami Devries who passed away on July the 5th, 2019. She was one of our Founders and very dedicated to introduced Indonesian Culture and RBI in USA, especially Texas area. She will be greatly missed but her legacy will be preserved. Rest in Peace, Tami DeVries... Salam Budaya from us here.
