According to him, the social service activities to commemorate the 76th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia during this pandemic are a manifestation of empathy for fellow citizens in need. He said that there are various forms of gratitude, one of which is sharing. If sharing becomes a daily habit, it will become a community strength with mutual cooperation so that a resilient village and a resilient community are realized.
"If the community and the village are resilient, then Indonesia is resilient. If we become a resilient nation, of course, when facing any problem, we will be able to overcome it. If we are able to overcome a difficult problem, no matter how difficult, of course this nation will grow and develop. So it's very good," explained Bung Edi, Sofyan Edi Jarwoko's nickname.
"This social service event is associated with the commemoration of the 76th Anniversary of the Republic of Indonesia. During this pandemic, it is not a luxurious and magnificent celebration, but it embodies empathy, our gratitude to fellow citizens in need," said Bung Edi.
Bung Edi also expressed his hope that the community would start to enjoy planting plants that produce carbohydrates by strengthening urban farming. According to him, this is done to achieve food security.
"Earlier I suggested Cilembu sweet potato because it contains carbohydrates. So we are active, we can plant plants that contain carbohydrates," he continued.
In addition, he said, the mind is not only focused on the Covid-19 pandemic. Because there are productive activities and positive activities. It could be an option for self-recovery so as not to be stressed and bored at home. So that you can be more optimistic through planting, caring for and later harvesting.
In this event, 50 basic food packages were also handed over to residents in need. (eka/ram)
