JAKARTA — Welcoming the holy month of Ramadan 1445 H, Dompet Dhuafa collaborated with Muslim Life Fair 2024 to hold a talk show entitled ‘Tips for Dividing Time for Children in the Middle of a Busy Ramadan’. The talk show was enlivened by Dompet Dhuafa’s Super Volunteer, Ricky Harun and Dompet Dhuafa’s Brand Activation Manager, Hassan Afif. The event took place in Hall B3, JIEXPO Kemayoran, Central Jakarta on Saturday (9/3/2024).
In the midst of the crowded exhibition visitors, on that occasion Ricky Harun shared tips so that he could carry out activities smoothly in the holy month of Ramadan. Ricky himself has four children whose ages are relatively young.
This is a challenge for Ricky and his wife, especially since they do not employ any domestic workers. They have to be smart in dividing their time between working and taking care of their children. According to him, two-way communication between parents and children is needed.

He and his wife, Ricky continued, could not do this alone. There needs to be a third party, namely an educational institution. He chose to send his children to an Islamic-based school. So that one day they will get much better religious knowledge than their parents.
‘The parents will also learn, especially religious knowledge. They can share with each other,’ said Ricky.
Ricky is also grateful that he is now part of Super Volunteer Dompet Dhuafa because he can have a good influence on his family and the surrounding environment. He gained new knowledge about the importance of zakat, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf. He also invited visitors to the exhibition to download the Dompet Dhuafa Application or DD Apps for easy donation.

Continuing about DD Apps, Hassan Afif explained that the application has complete and efficient features. There are features for alms payment, income zakat, and zakat to help our Gazan brothers and sisters in Palestine.
‘There are many features that will make it easier for donors to give zakat and perform other acts of worship. DD Apps features zakat for Gaza victims, Prayer Schedule, Ask the Ustaz and many more,’ explained Hassan.
To get to this stage of digitalisation, Hassan continued, it is necessary to build trust in the community. It is not easy, Dompet Dhuafa as a philanthropic institution has been established for 30 years, maintaining two important values. Namely accountability and neutrality.

Firstly, accountability. Every year Dompet Dhuafa issues a detailed financial report. Starting from the incoming zakat, the distribution of zakat funds, to other logistical costs.
Second, neutrality. Dompet Dhuafa has never cultivated a figure, either in terms of politics or religion. So that Dompet Dhuafa from the beginning did not have to follow certain conflict currents.
Not only holding a talk show, Dompet Dhuafa also opened a booth for three days, from Friday (8/3/2024) to Sunday (10/3/2024). Dompet Dhuafa’s booth was enlivened by the presence of the Free Health Service Team (LKC). They provide free checks for uric acid, cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar. (Dompet Dhuafa)
