Fulfilling the Food Needs of the Self-Isolation Community, "Ciungwanara" Center Distributes Boxed Rice
CIBINONG (August 20, 2021) - Following up on a
directive from the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Tri
Rismaharini so that each Technical Implementation Unit (UPT) helps communities
who are undergoing self-isolation to be given nutritious food in the form of
boxed rice to fulfill nutritional intake.
With a quick response,
Social Rehabilitation Center “Ciungwanara” immediately carried out an
assessment to collect data on people living close to the Center who were
undergoing self-isolation. From the results of the assessment, there are 15
people in Bogor Regency and 15 people in Bogor City who are undergoing
self-isolation.
The rice box procurement
is in collaboration with Ciwa Cafe, which cooks the boxed rice every day. The
distribution of boxed rice begins on August 18, 2021. Every day, Ciungwanara
prepares 30 rice boxes with different menus. The total number of boxed rice
distributed up to August 20 was 90 boxed rice. These boxed rice were
distributed by its employees and some were taken by the local Covid-19 task
force.
This step was carried out
immediately by the Head of the Bogor Ciungwanara Center, Siti Sari Rumayanti,
so that people who were carrying out self-isolation did not bother preparing to
eat.
"Although with a
simple menu, we hope that this small assistance can help the community in
fulfilling nutrition while undergoing self-isolation. God willing, we will
provide this food intake until people who are confirmed to have Covid-19 are
declared cured through a Swab Test or PCR. The mandate from the Ministry of
Social Affairs We will implement this, especially in this case, the Minister of
Social Affairs, to ease the burden on the people who have been confirmed to
have COVID-19," said Sari.
One resident of Bogor
Regency who received the boxed rice thanked the Ministry of Social Affairs
through Ciungwanara for the attention.
"This attention means a lot to us who are undergoing self-isolation, when our body conditions are not fit to prepare a meal, there is a box of rice sent home, so we can immediately enjoy the boxed rice. Hopefully, all of your kindness will get a reply from God and hopefully this pandemic will end soon," concluded Mrs. "R".
