ACTNews, TASIKMALAYA – The massive generosity
that have been shown by many communities following the series of disasters that
hit Indonesia has inspired the residents of Tasikmalaya to contribute. Five
tons of rice and other basic supplies were gathered from Tasikmalaya and were
delivered to the Waqf Distribution Center in Gunung Sindur, Bogor Regency. These
aid packages were sent to the beneficiaries through the Humanitarian Ship for
West Sulawesi on Wednesday (1/27/2021) and will also be sent to South
Kalimantan through the Humanitarian Ship for South Kalimantan on Saturday
(30/1/2021).
ACT Tasikmalaya Branch Manager Taufik
Perdana said that this aid was the result of the generosity of the Tasikmalaya residents
collected in less than a week. "As we know, the impact of the disaster
that occurred, especially in West Sulawesi, was tremendous. Alhamdulillah,
collaborating with partnering communities, corporate mosques, students and others,
were able to collect five tons of aid that was collected in less than a week.
This shows that the people of Tasikmalaya and its surroundings are very
generous," said Taufik, Monday (1/25/2021).
This aid truck was officially dispatched
on Monday, witnessed by partners who have supported the Humanitarian Ship
program by providing the aid packages to be sent to the disaster victims.
Zaim Kamil, a representative from JNE
Tasikmalaya, who has also contributed in providing the aid packages, expressed
his gratefulness. "Alhamdulillah, we can participate to help our fellow
countrymen through the Humanitarian Ship program by ACT. Hopefully, what we have
donated can be useful for those in need," he said.

Indonesians who were affected by the disasters, especially in West Sulawesi and
South Kalimantan. Indonesian people who want to donate can channel their aid
