JAKARTA —-— In a corner of the Johar Baru neighborhood in Central Jakarta, the atmosphere on Saturday (March 7, 2026) felt different. Masterofceremony.id (MC.ID) brought joy through the Ramadan Crash Course program at the Dompet Dhuafa Sehati Shelter, a temporary shelter for “Health Warriors” who are striving to recover.
This event was more than just a routine visit. MC.ID offered a brief training session on becoming a Master of Ceremony (MC) along with various interactive games. The goal was simple yet profound: to reignite the self-confidence that might have dimmed amidst the struggle against illness. Moreover, the reflection sessions and communal prayers during this holy month served as a soothing oasis for the hearts of the patients and their caregivers.
For Refa Anjani (21), a shelter resident battling an autoimmune disease, this event was a fresh injection of motivation.
“I’m so grateful to have met fellow activists and to have expanded my knowledge as well,” she said, her eyes sparkling.
MC.ID founder Vicca Sagita explained that the program, which typically targets schools under the name “3B Goes to School,” has now been transformed into “3B Goes to Shelter Sehati.” The 3B motto (Learning, Creating, and Making a Difference) is brought directly to those who are struggling far from home.
“This is a new experience for us. We’re sharing with patients and their caregivers, most of whom come from outside the Jakarta metropolitan area, far from their extended families. MC.ID is here to provide new knowledge and experiences so they don’t feel alone,” said Vicca with empathy.
Ahmad Shonhaji, Director of Social, Humanitarian, and Da’wah Programs at Dompet Dhuafa, expressed deep appreciation for this inspiring collaboration. He emphasized that the presence of partners like MC.ID can provide extraordinary inner strength.
“The hope is that this initiative continues to foster a spirit of sharing. We share in their empathy, bring them joy, and strengthen their hearts. Ultimately, we all hope for blessings from Allah SWT,” said Ahmad Shonhaji as he concluded his remarks.
