ACTNews, JAKARTA – The Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia still hasn’t receded,
but the optimism and a passion for sharing continue to grow among Indonesian
society. Many parties have participated in tackling Covid-19 in accordance with
their own capacity, from individuals to large corporations.
Aksi Cepat
Tanggap (ACT) continues to consistently run various humanitarian programs to
overcome the various impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. The aid programs are run
in collaboration with several partners, including the Qatar Embassy. The
assistance provided by Qatar Embassy is a form of care and sympathy from the
Qatar Embassy and the people of Qatar for their brothers and sisters in Indonesia
who are in dire need amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Various kinds of aid were
distributed through the Free Rice Operation and Hygiene Kit Distribution
program on Wednesday (11/11).
"Alhamdulillah,
this afternoon, we delivered some aid packages. They are probably not much, but
they were given in sincerity as a form of care and sympathy to those who are in
need. We are here to assist them,” said Imam Baihaqi, a Qatar Embassy
representative.
Qatar Embassy
and other partners and donors believe in ACT because they believe ACT is a transparent
and credible institution. This collaboration that resulted in the distribution
of aid packages to the underprivileged is considered necessary to alleviate the
local residents’ burden amid the pandemic.
Imam Baihaqi
also stated that some of the items that were distributed were allotted from the
belongings of the individuals who are willing to give. "The assistance
that was collected is definitely not something given out of excess, but because
we want to help. Through the distribution of 345 food packages and hygiene
kits, we hope that this assistance can be well received. Please accept it and
pray for us that what we have given will be repaid by the Almighty," said
Imam.
Imam and the donors
also expressed hope that the assistance that has been given can benefit the
recipients. "This assistance is a form of our gratitude (the donors) to
Allah and, with that gratitude, God willing, we hope that our sustenance will
increase," continued Imam.
Through this initial
humanitarian program, the collaboration with the people of Qatar through their
embassy is getting stronger in spreading benefits and friendship between fellow
Muslims. "The cooperation between ACT and Qatar Embassy aims to help the front-liners
and patients who still need our assistance. I hope this will be a positive
benefit that can be followed by other partners," concluded Moh. Faisol
Amrullah from the Global Philanthropy Network - ACT. []
