“This is actually a routine agenda done by Jakarta PMI during Eid ul Fitr homecoming and returning flow season. We visited terminals, stations, port, and recreational places to give aid in form of medicines,” stated Rini at Kampung Rambutan Terminal, Tuesday (7/22).

The mini bags contained antimo anti-nausea medicine, betadine, tensoplast, cotton, and some other first-aid medicines. Although their price is not much, but those medicines are very much needed by homecomers who are performing long trips. Moreover, traffic congestion would most likely happen, which would make homecomers fatigue and need those medicines.

“It looks simple, but many people often forgot those medicines for long trip. They realize needed it in the middle of their trips. That’s why we took the initiative to give the medicines which often forgotten but needed by homecomers. Hopefully this could be useful for homecomers,” she uttered.

According to Rini, Jakarta Provincial Government’s services in providing homecoming transportation modes are better this year. It can be seen from homecomers who are in order in bus terminals as well as train stations.
