Thursday, April 24, 2025, Regional Representative (RR) Ambon visited the Yayasan Melati Al-Khairaat Orphanage. This activity is RR Ambon’s ongoing commitment to sharing and contributing to the surrounding area. Actually, this activity should have been carried out last Ramadan. However, due to several considerations and reasons, the activity was postponed and carried out this month.

Even though it was a rainy day, RR Ambon Alumni and Grantees remained enthusiastic and visited the Orphanage. The activity began with games to build togetherness between RR Ambon and the orphanage children. Continued with eating together. The core of this activity was to provide donations in the form of basic necessities to the orphanage such as rice, sugar, oil, eggs, noodles, milk and others. It is hoped that it can support basic needs (food sources) for the orphanage children. They were very happy to receive it and gave some impressions, including:

The joy and laughter of the orphanage children gave RR Ambon encouragement to carry out activities in the future. Salam Pela Gandong “Katong Samua Basudara!”
