What's happening in PresUniv
The COVID-19 pandemic has a huge impact on society, physically, mentally, and also financially. A group of students at the Faculty of Business President University believes that kindness can help society survive in this uncertain situation. The students who are involved in a business called Ten-O Mask conducted a social project called Little Things Called Kindness. “Through this project, we focus on spreading kindness and engage people to do it. We believe that even little acts of kindness might help people's day,” said Cynthia, one of the members of Ten-O Mask.
Conducted for approximately one month, from June to July, Little Things Called Kindness was divided into 3 sub-events, namely Domino's Kindness, Let's Talk Series, and Fundraising & Donation.
First, Domino's Kindness is a social media campaign where this campaign was held to invite people to do kindness. Ten-O Mask believes that the kindness that someone does will never end just like the Domino Effect. Ten-O Mask also regularly uploads various kindness action videos to inspire netizens to do an act of kindness.
Second, The Let's Talk Series was a series of webinars that were presented on 3 different topics each week, including mental health, finances, and someone's kindness story. The first week of the webinar’s material was delivered by Inkan Lukie Marrisca BHSc (Hons), Ceritain.id Peer Councellor, with the topic "How to Keep Mind Right When Everything Is Going Wrong". The second week’s webinar was attended by Erlina Juwita, MM., CFP., QWP., OneShildt Financial Senior Consultant as well as the Financial Intelligence Founder with the topic "Pandemic Financial Survival Kit". In the last webinar, Ten-O Mask invited two speakers, namely Talitha Amalia, Director of Program Operations Solve Education and Eva Bachtiar, CEO of Garda Pangan to share about kindness.
Third, Ten-O Mask also opened donations and raised funds that were channeled to various parties affected by the pandemic. First, the donations collected were channeled to APDKita, a movement that produces face shields and distributes them for free to medical staff in Indonesia. Furthermore, donations were given to Garda Pangan to distribute food packages to vulnerable people. Finally, donations were also given to the Association of Indonesian Zoos (PKBSI) in an effort to raise funds for the welfare of animals in Conservation Institutions affected by COVID-19.
It didn't stop there, Ten-O Mask carried out a Package Handout Program Distribution where each member provided a package of basic necessities and gave it to people in need around their homes in the Greater Jakarta area, Bali, Sumatra, Central Java, Timor Leste, and China. (SL)
