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.

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.

Cathy is a cheerful and funny soul, and her journey with FSI began back in 2020 when she participated in our Kids & Teens program. Over time, Cathy started volunteering as a teacher in our kids’ program—her younger sibling even joined too! Now, Cathy has graduated from college and is helping us in the Finance Department alongside Mira & Josephine. It brings us immense joy and pride to witness her growth and progress.

Richard, a talented member of our Creative Department, has just completed his Bachelor’s degree as well. With exceptional skills in design and videography, his presence enriches our creative team. Beyond his professional talents, Richard has a passion for teaching and loves sharing his knowledge with others. He’s now actively volunteering, teaching children in our kids’ program. We’re so proud of him!

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.

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.

She has a really big passion and heart. 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.

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.
