JAKARTA — The sounds of acoustic instruments, drum beats, and the vibrations of the angklung created a delightful harmony under the twinkling spotlights that afternoon, Wednesday (April 27, 2022), in the Kendal Tunnel area, Dukuh Atas, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Passersby turned to watch, and many recorded the performance using their phones.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes glanced at the various signboards displayed by volunteers, with phrases such as “Zakat Now, Peaceful Homecoming” among them. That day, Dompet Dhuafa once again held a grand canvassing event titled “RamadhanKustik and Ngabuburit Together” featuring the Sound of Angklung.
Various activities such as Canvassing Sapa Ramadhan, Berbagi Takjil, and Eco Green were rolled out as an effort to invite the community to echo and spread the message of 30 Days of Ramadhan #JadiManfaat. Dompet Dhuafa’s iconic figure, Bang Sidik, also joined in to greet pedestrians in public transportation areas, Sudirman KAI Station and BNI City Station.
On the sidelines of the event, Suci N. Qadarsih, GM of Marcom Dompet Dhuafa, said that this charity program is a program that encourages and reminds the public to always share during the holy month of Ramadan.
“We are launching the ‘Sharing Iftar and Zakat at the Right Time’ program for those in need, as well as those affected by the current pandemic. As we approach Eid al-Fitr with the excitement of the annual homecoming, we also remind everyone not to forget to fulfill their obligations of zakat, fidyah, and other donations,” she said.
Through ‘RamadhanKustik and Ngabuburit Together’, Dompet Dhuafa strives to inspire everyone to continue embracing the hopes of all humanity. United in the same spiritual bond to create positive energy. So that those in need can receive benefits equally. Everyone can participate in realizing their hopes, regardless of where they come from and whatever contribution they can make. (Dompet Dhuafa / Dhika Prabowo)
