Acting Governor Heru also distributed a thousand basic food packages to residents, each consisting of five kilograms of rice, one liter of cooking oil and 10 packs of instant noodles. The basic food supplies are a synergy with the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation.

"We are grateful that the synergy with the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation has produced something that the community needs. We are grateful that residents are increasingly helped in meeting their basic daily needs," Heru added.

This synergy also produces physical development aspects that the community needs, namely housing and places of worship.

Acting Governor Heru hopes that the physical facilities that have been built can be put to good use by local residents.

"We also visited the homes of residents who had received house renovation assistance in the names of Mrs. Suinah (RT 02/04), Mrs. Qomariah, and Mr. Hapidin. All three are located close to each other. Then we walked approximately 500 meters to the location of the mosque and the Nurul Islam Education Foundation (RW 01). This mosque and school also received rehabilitation assistance from cross-stakeholder synergy," Heru continued.

Meanwhile, one of the owners of the renovated house, Qomariah (49), is very grateful and expressed his thanks to the Jakarta Provincial Government and the Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation. The assistance provided is his dream of having a decent home.

"Thank God, the attention of the Jakarta Provincial Government has been felt by us in Kamal Muara. We get easy basic necessities, and we also get help with house renovations. Once again, thank you to Heru and Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation," she admitted.
