“Alhamdulillah, the LKC RDK team and the DMC team have held UDM activities at the Jami Nurul Abdyat Mosque, precisely in RW 7 Central Village, Kramat Jati District. We will carry out this activity insya Allah throughout 2023 at several points, especially in Jabodetabek,” said dr. Aqila.
Attended by 53 participants and dominated by mothers, this training provides many benefits. One of the participants, Sofia, hopes this training can be held regularly.
“This training provides benefits, and we understand how to extinguish a fire with tools available at home, such as wet rags. Then it is hoped that more residents can participate in this activity, thank you for the training that has been held,” said Sofia. (Dompet Dhuafa/PR)
