Agricultural Microbiology Students who are members of PERMAHAMI (Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Mikrobiologi) or Agricultural Microbiology Student Association on Saturday, June 25th 2022 held a Charity activity at the Budi Dharma Elderly Service Home located in Giwangan, Yogyakarta. Bagi Bagi Berkah (BBB) which means sharing and giving blessings is one of the work programs of PERMAHAMI’s Department of Social Affairs. BBB aims to increase the social care of all PERMAHAMI members. This activity was also carried out in the context of sharing kindness amid the COVID-19 pandemic which caused various negative impacts from an economic perspective as well as a form of respect and appreciation among people. Activities are carried out by adhering to health protocols and keeping the food and drinks distributed in good condition and sterile. In addition, donations were made in the form of donations of funds to all residents of the orphanage.
The BBB charity began at 16.00 WIB, starting with remarks from one of the caretakers of the Panti and continued with remarks from Pradipta Guntur Putra vice chairman of PERMAHAMI, and Misbahul Anam as Chair of the Committee. Then Pradipta conducted an introductory session of PERMAHAMI. The next activity was the delivery of donations and snacks to the residents of the Budi Dharma Nursing Home. Apart from that, there were performances by some of the elderly residents of the nursing home including singing and poetry. At the end of the event, a documentation session was held for the organizers and residents of the orphanage. After participating in this activity, it is hoped that PERMAHAMI students will be able to increase their gratitude and concern for others, as is the case with the tagline of this activity, namely “A Line of Love without Age Limits”.
