Its not much however it means a great deal to so many hungry families who are struggling here each day in Indonesia... People are really finding it difficult to work and put simple food on the table as the Pandemic hits every industry hard.. The holy month Ramadan began for so many here and its usually a time when everyone working in Jakarta and the large main cities will go home for celebration with their loved ones as we in the west do for Christmas and New Years Eve however this year all of the cities and villages have been locked down and workers from the bigger cities such as Jakarta and Yogyakarta are forbidden to leave the city in fear that they could spread the Corona Virus to their home villages who don't have the hospital capacity to take care and test victims of the crisis so i would like to bring a little bit of hope and joy to as many starving people as i can during this time as this city has started to go hungry. I have lived here on and off in Indonesia within this wonderful city Yogyakarta for 4 years and everyday i see someone going without which is becoming more and more obvious through the KOVID-19 pandemic. "Breaking fasting with free food and drinks to the community during the months of KOVID 19" is what i am doing everyday now. I will continue to serve 100 portions each day which cost 10.000idr ($1AU). i'm very new to these types of campaigns however i think its important to have a platform which allows others to contribute even if its only $1, $5 or whatever you can in order to help us raise the efforts and to increase the amount of food we can supply as the 100 portions disappear very very quickly and surprisingly well before the hour of setting up our table.. i aim to reach as many hungry kids and families around Yogyakarta for at least the next 2 to 3 months and with a little bit of your help this initiative may be reached.. I volunteer time and savings each day to cook healthy nutritious meals (Rice, Tempe, Egg omelettes, Chicken and a drink of ice tea) at home in a very safe and healthy environment. None of the money raised here will be going to us directly. Please be assured that all proceeds and donations will go directly to the food, its preparation, and set up a better display which can be moved around the poorest areas of the city to reach the most effected.. If you have any further questions or would like to offer other means of donations such as rice or food please feel free to contact me on WhatsApp on +62 821 3343 2414

Saya ingin dapat memberikan makanan gratis untuk berbuka puasa setiap harinya untuk masyarakat yang membutuhkan selama bulan ramadan dan selama Pandemic KOVID 19 yang diharapkan bisa meringankan sedikit berban mereka yang membutuhkan. Saya ingin membagikan 100 paket makanan setiap harinya dengan kisaran harga 10.000 per paket makan. Saya baru dalam kampanye donasi ini, tapi saya pikir ini penting untuk memberikan orang lain lain berkontribusi dalam membantu, 10.000, 20.000 atau berapapun akan sangat membantu mereka semua. Saya bertujuan untuk menjangkau sebanyak mungkin anak-anak dan keluarga yang kelaparan di sekitar Yogyakarta selama setidaknya 2 hingga 3 bulan ke depan dan dengan sedikit atas bantuan Anda, inisiatif ini mungkin tercapai .. Istri saya Galuh dan saya menyumbangkan waktu dan tabungan kami setiap hari untuk memasak makanan bergizi yang sehat (Beras, Tempe, Telur dadar, Ayam dan minuman es teh) . Yakinlah bahwa semua hasil dan sumbangan akan langsung ke makanan, persiapannya, dan mengatur tampilan yang lebih baik yang dapat dipindahkan di sekitar daerah miskin di kota untuk mencapai yang paling terkena dampak .. Jika Anda memiliki pertanyaan lebih lanjut atau akan ingin menawarkan donasi lain seperti beras atau makanan, jangan ragu untuk menghubungi saya di WhatsApp di +62 821 3343 2414
