Team

Our leader extraordinaire, but don’t call him that. To be honest, Jorge is a leader against his will. He would just as glad be a coaching soccer at the villages or prison than in the office; however, he’s the founder and CEO of Free and Safe, as well as responsible of among many other things.

Maria has the passion to be a personal assistant. Writing details and reminding schedule is what she loves. With her assertive, reprimanding and nimble personality, we knew she is perfect to balance Jorge’s free-spirited personality, full of ideas and dreams to achieve at the same time. We are very grateful that our boss finally has a personal assistant to help him with appointments, meetings and schedules.

Josephine is a member of our finance and admin team who helps us in the office. She loves to collect receipts, take care of reimbursement. She is very humble and always willing to help one another wholeheartedly.

Mira is our finance and legal master. Her default face expression is ‘always smiling’. She is experienced in taking care of legal field. We trust her 100% because no one else understand as much as her. Of course we are very happy to have someone so capable, smart, honest, and a loving person working at Free and Safe.

Jefri does a great job at both being 100% Indonesian, and 100% a bule. Truth is, we wouldn’t be anywhere without him. Jefri is starting a new branch of FSI in Bali. Since 2022 Jefri has been starting visiting prisons and coaching football in Bali. We will have a Transition Home in FSI Bali, where we will focus on street kids and transitioning boys after freed from prison. Also FSI Bali and Jefri will be working together with local Balinese organizations who will focus on solutions for human trafficking.

This lovely couple, with three beautiful kids, do everything in and around our Transition Home. Their heart for our work is amazing and we love them. Oh, and in our opinion Ibu Nur is the best chef in Bandung!

Marel is a very creative and smart person, even before finishing University we offered him to work in FSI. We believe Marel has a great heart to serve and also she will bring her creativity to our social media and creative department. Marel loves being on social media and she can make ordinary photos meaningful and fun. We welcome Marel to FSI and thank her for her willingness to make an impact on the many families FSI helps.

Lie is the youngest among us, but her passion and heart are bigger than ours. She is still studying architecture at Maranatha University, which is one of our partners. She has a passion for art since she was little and that makes her a good fit in the creative department. Although sometimes she has to work on building sketches or mockups in the office, she balances her busy schedule and is happy to do both. We are very grateful to have such a talented person and look forward to the day when she will design the FSI office and program building one day.
