– Around 100 students are studying at the Bantargedang Islamic Boarding
School, Cibereum, Tasikmalaya City with most of them coming from poor families.
In the school founded in 1942, they learn religious sciences under the guidance
of their teachers.
In the pesantren, the students live a simple
life. The facilities in this boarding school is barely adequate. The restrooms,
for instance, don’t have enough water to be used. The restroom for the female
students is even too decrepit to use.
To facilitate the
activities in the school, Global Wakaf-ACT has begun the construction of a waqf
well that will be equipped with restrooms. The construction of the well began
on Thursday (3/6/2021) and is targeted to be completed within seven working
days.
“The availability
of clean water sources and adequate restrooms is very important, especially for
the students. They must maintain their enthusiasm for learning,” said Fauzi
Ridwan from the Global Wakaf -ACT Tasikmalaya Program Department.
A warm welcome
came from the caretakers of the school. KH. Ujang Nur Makky, one of the administrators,
expressed his gratitude for the construction of the well and toilets for his
students. "Thank you for the kindness of the community that has now been implemented.
We were planning to build toilets and a water well for the students, but Alhamdulillah
Global Wakaf came to help us. Hopefully, its rewards will continue to flow like
water that comes out of the Waqf Well," he prayed. []
