The VOPI continued to Surabaya and held a similar event in the Junior State High School 12. The VOPI ended its three city visit with a closing event at the distinguished Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School in Jombang.

Princess Cheryl Halpern stated, "It is a privilege for me to view the Visions of Peace and interfaith harmony as expressed by the Indonesian youth with whom I have engaged. They are going to emerge as the leaders of the future and it important for them to be heard. I am looking forward to acknowledging the VOPI goal of respect for the diversity of humanity as envisioned by the younger generations as I continue to visit many more Indonesian schools."
