ACTNews, JAKARTA- The
COVID-19 spread in Indonesia is still worrisome. However, the spirit of sharing
and optimism continues to grow despite difficulties. Many parties, from
individuals to corporations, have contributed in alleviating COVID-19 and its
severe impacts in accordance with their respective capacities. Among the
corporations that take part in alleviating COVID-19 is PT Yongwang Electronics
Indonesia (TCL Indonesia), a Smart-Product manufacturer and a global internet
service provider.
Collaborating with Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT), an Indonesian humanitarian
NGO, the spirit of philanthropy was shown through the distribution of 300
staple food packages to the needy through ACT’s Free Food Operation
program. ACT Bogor Branch Manager Catur
Widodo expressed his appreciation and happiness for the synergy between the two
parties.
“We hope that the donation campaign mechanism that has been established
can improve TCL’s image as a company that cares about the condition of their
surroundings and contributes to the betterment of this nation. We hope to be
able to collaborate with them in our future humanitarian programs. I appreciate
TCL’s unique campaign by allotting IDR 50,000 for each unit of television sold
from May 27 to 29. I also hope that this collaboration will become a long-term
one,” said Catur.
COVID-19 pandemic has affected society economically. Many have
lost their jobs and sources of income. Seeing this, TCL aims to support the
society by initiating humanitarian programs with the support of ACT who has
been actively supporting the needy through its various aid distribution programs
during the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from distributing staple food packages
through the Free Food Operation, ACT also assists the needy by empowering local
micro-business owners.
After two months of communication, the collaboration between ACT and
TCL was manifested in the form of Free Food Operation, a food distribution
program that aims to support those who are still in dire need of assistance.
TCL Indonesia Sales and Marketing Director, Peter Chen expressed his trust for ACT. “We see
that ACT is a professional humanitarian organization that actively assists
[communities affected by] COVID-19 through the various existing program. This is in
line with our willingness to donate to those who are struggling during the
COVID-19 pandemic. We believe ACT can plan and target the donation with which
TCL has trusted them to the right segment of the society,” he said.
During the pandemic, many have lost their jobs and income. “In this
situation, TCL’s business has also been affected. However, thanks to our loyal
customers that have been supporting us, we were able to contribute to the
Indonesian society. We donated the proceeds of our sales last month to help
everyone in need. Let us get through this difficult situation together,” added
Peter.
This is the first collaboration between TCL and ACT. Hopefully, TCL and
ACT can work together in long-term collaborations to help many Indonesians.
This collaboration is also expected to inspire others to help the needy. “TCL
hopes that the donation that we gave can help more people and inspire others to
donate through ACT,” Peter concluded. []
