On August 17, 1945, the country of Indonesia won its independence from Dutch rule. Seventy years later, the people of Indonesia are still partying!
If you were in Indonesia on Monday, you would have seen people clinging to greased poles. They climbed them to get prizes such as bicycles and rice cookers. You also would have seen carnivals, sack races, and games where people covered themselves in mud.
God divided the world into nations for His good purposes. Does your country have an independence day? How do you celebrate?
