JAKARTA - A total of 1,750 packaged rice were distributed free of charge to orphans, poor people and underprivileged residents living in the Lagoa area, Koja sub-district, North Jakarta, Friday, August 12.

"We distributed 1,750 rice packets to residents living around our office, in the hope of helping them, especially residents who are in a mediocre condition," said Lamidi Jimat, as President Director of PT Ardila Insan Sejahtera, in a written statement, Friday, August 12.

The distribution of thousands of packaged rice is carried out routinely every Friday by a company engaged in selling diesel fuel at sea (Bunker Service).

In addition to helping the local residents who are less fortunate, the distribution of thousands of packaged rice is also in commemoration of Eid Orphans which is commemorated every 10 Muharram.

"In addition to routine activities, the distribution of thousands of rice is also in commemoration of Eid for Orphans," said Lamidi Jimat.

Lamidi hopes that the sharing activities which are carried out regularly once a week on Fridays can create a sense of sharing, as well as helping local residents who live in the area of his company.
