A number of interfaith youths carried various posters when they wanted to distribute takjil in the Solo Baru area, Sukoharjo, Central Java, Friday (7/5/2021). Funds for the making of the takjil dish as much as 500 packs were obtained from donations from the youth who participated in the event.

How many times do we eat a day? How many times do we buy new clothes in a year? How much money do we spend on others who we think need our help?

Unfortunately, these simple questions don\'t always knock on our consciousness. Many people cannot eat three times a day, do not wear new clothes for years, and are not happy when many people are joyful.
