The Voice of Hibakusha

On August 6, 1945, during World War II (1939-45), an American B-29 bomber dropped the world’s first deployed atomic bomb over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion wiped out 90 percent of the city and immediately killed 80,000 people; tens of thousands more would later die of radiation exposure.  Three days later, a second B-29 dropped another A-bomb on Nagasaki, killing an estimated 40,000 people.

#CreatorsforChange: Gita Savitri Devi

Gita Savitri Devi, as known as Gita, was born on Palembang, July 22, 1992. She's now 27 years old and married. She's an Indonesian authentic yet now living in Hamburg, Germany. Gita is known by most of people as a YouTube Content Creator, a Blogger, and a Social Media Influencer. But actually, she's a singer too. Not in a formal or serious type of singer but just an ability to sing, cause her voice is gold . If she had to choose between writing or talking, she obviously chose talking. Why? Cause she said that there were so many things that she couldn't say out loud, yet she always found a way to put it into words.      Gita is known for her cleverness. Actually, before she took her college abroad to Germany, she had already accepted in FSRD ITB, yet she didn't take it. It really proves that she believed on her self-potential to take college abroad.
