ACTNews, TASIKMALAYA – The qurbani sacrifice in Kampung Cicondong, Cibeuti
Village, Kawalu Subdistrict, Tasikmalaya (8/1) was filled with joy and delight.
The tradition of gotong royong, or mutual
cooperation was apparent among the locals as they were slaughtering qurbani cattle
mandated by Amily Hijab channeled through Global Qurban - ACT Tasikmalaya.
"Our
residents rarely participate in slaughtering qurbani animals from the
beginning. This year was the first after quite some time. Even if we receive
qurbani, it’s usually from our neighboring villages. This is why our residents
are apparently very enthusiastic,” said Asep, a local community leader.
That day’s
qurbani showed not only the mutual cooperation among villagers, but also the
generosity that radiated to the neighboring villages. Initially, the qurbani
was intended only for 60 families in the village. However, the residents of
Cicondong Hamlet took the initiative to distribute qurbani meat to residents of
neighboring villages who had not yet received qurbani meat due to lack of
qurbani performers. In total, 200 families benefitted from the qurbani meat
distribution.
"We have a
great enthusiasm for sharing. Although qurbani sacrifice is something quite
rare in our own neighborhood, we want our vicinity to also feel the happiness
that we feel now, "Asep added.
The generosity
of the locals inspired one of Amily Hijab's representatives, Nunung Nurhayati. She
and her team team admitted that they were touched by the generosity and care of
the Cicondong villagers.
"Alhamdulillah,
God has facilitated us to meet the people of Cicondong by whose generosity we
were inspired. The qurbani that was initially aimed to benefit only 62 families,
but then it was able to benefit over 200 families. We are truly moved and
inspired. It is an example that we can always have something to share even
though we don’t have much wealth. Thank you very much to Global Qurban - ACT
for bringing us together with the community through this qurbani, "said
Nunung.
M. Fauzi Ridwan,
Global Qurban – ACT Tasikmalaya Program Coordinator said, besides Cicondong
Village, the distribution of qurbani animals also reached poor people in other
areas. "Yesterday (7/31), we sacrificed and distributed qurbani animals in
Rancamaya Hamlet, Gunungsari Village, Tasikmalaya Regency. Today (8/1), besides
Cicondong Hamlet, we also distributed qurbani to Cicau Hamlet, Cibeuti Kawalu
Village, Tasikmalaya City and Cisugih Village, Tamansari Subdistrict,
Tasikmalaya City, "explained Fauzi.
The distribution
of qurbani in Tasikmalaya lasted until the third day past Eid, Sunday (8/3). On
that day, the distribution of qurbani meat reached Buligir Village, Cigalontang
Subdistrict, Tasikmalaya Regency, and Cikuda Village, Tamansari Subdistrict,
Tasikmalaya City.
"Thank you
for the support of all generous people who have distributed their qurbani
animals through Global Qurban - ACT. Alhamdulillah, the people who received the
qurbani meat were very happy," concluded Fauzi. []
