Her side only accepts donation in form of mask. Later, collected masks will be distributed to residents in affected locations, especially for children at school age.

Those who live in Kelapa Gading and its surrounding and interested to donate can bring the mask to Dewi Shinta RPTRA or the nearest RPTRAs that collaborate with her side.

"Until today, we have collected 5,000 masks. Donation will be opened until Thursday (9/26)," she informed.

One of the local residents, Erna (39) said this donation is also socialized to early childhood education programs (PAUD) children in RTPRA and she appreciates it because it could encourage children from early age to care for the others.

"Hopefully this donation can be useful, especially for children at school age in affected areas," she stated.
