It's very useful for my family

West Jakarta Mayor, Uus Kuswanto, appreciated the program which is held routinely every year.

"In the name of West Jakarta Administration, thanks for West Jakarta PMI holding this program," he said.

According to him, this appreciation is of course due to the achievements made by West Jakarta PMI in carrying out various humanitarian activities, starting from blood donation, disaster relief, and PMI fund month.

West Jakarta PMI Head, Beky Mardani, stated the 3,000 basic food packages were distributed to eight sub-districts in West Jakarta.

The packages's distribution targeted garbage collectors and street sweepers, bicycle taxi drivers, train gate officers, crossing boatmen, orphanages, elderly and nursing homes.
