IPB Gives Donation to 1,500 Orphans and Dhuafa Near the Campus
Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) again provided donations to 1500 orphans and poor aged 6-15 years from 17 villages near the campus. The activities that are routinely carried out every holy month of Ramadan are held at Al Hurriyyah Mosque, Dramaga Bogor Campus, Tuesday (5/6).

"The source of funds for this donation program comes from the infaq of the residents of IPB with a total fund of nearly 500 million rupiah," he said.
To the orphan the rector asked, "Who wants to study at IPB? Who wants to become an agricultural engineer?" he said, hoping that the orphans and the poor could achieve their dreams.
Aside from being a means of silahturahim with residents from 17 villages near IPB campus, this activity is also one of the implementations of the IPB Social Share program for disadvantaged people.
At this program, IPB presented small qori from one of the villages around the campus for the verse continuation program. The aim is to foster children's love for the Qur'an. With this activity, it is expected that the children in the circle of IPB campus can grow by loving Al Quran as a provision of knowledge as adults.

Ustaz drh. Aris Ahmad Jaya motivates the orphans to grow into tough people, able to work hard to achieve their goals. He said that life must have goals and ideals.
He advised that orphans and poor people could maintain oral. The biggest obstacle is the mind itself. Laziness can be from a lazy mind. Likewise if diligent, it can be from the mind.
Then Ustaz drh. Aris Ahmad Jaya, accompanied by orphans and poor people, pray, so that later they grow into successful people and can benefit others and the surrounding environment.
Unlike Ustaz drh. Aris Ahmad Jaya, Chairperson of DKM Al-Hurriyah, Dr. Asep Nurhalim, Lc prefers to give a quiz for children who can answer their questions.
