Singaraja- The Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) movement sharing with residents affected by the Covid-19 pandemic continues. Sunday (7/6/2020), basic food assistance was distributed again which targeted a number of residents in Wanagiri Village, Sukasada District, Kayuputih Village, and Munduk Village, Banjar District, Buleleng Regency.
The assistance was distributed to residents with middle to lower economic status. Some are also elderly. Chancellor of Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Jampel, M.Pd said that in the midst of this pandemic, the mutual cooperation movement really needs to be carried out as an effort to ease the burden on society. “This pandemic has had an impact on various sectors, including the people’s economy. We from Undiksha are here and trying to lighten the burden,” he explained accompanied by staff.
He further conveyed, the distribution of basic food assistance which also synergizes with Kodim 1609/Buleleng is an effort to support public health so that it has resistance to Covid-19 attacks. This is also supported by the socialization of clean and healthy living. “To prevent the transmission of Covid-19, it is not enough for us to protect ourselves, but also others,” he said.
As an academic institution, Undiksha which has been accredited excels in its commitment to improving human resources in the village through education. This was also socialized by the village government. “There are quite a lot of scholarships every year. We want this to be used by young people with good academic abilities, but the economy is not enough to continue studying in college. Undiksha really supports that,” he said.
This program received a positive response from the Head of Munduk Village, I Nyoman Niryasa. He explained that the Covid-19 pandemic had an impact on the economy of its citizens, both those who work as farmers and those who do tourism. “We thank you for this program,” he said. Appreciation was also expressed for Undiksha’s support in developing the education of the younger generation. “For the development of education, we are very supportive. We socialize this to the community through hamlet clans to continue it again, “he added. The Head of the Kayuputih Village Headquarters, I Made Sudiarta, also conveyed the same thing. According to him, improving the quality of human resources is needed to support village development. “Of course, we support if our community can continue their education at Undiksha. What’s more, you can get a scholarship,” he concluded.
Apart from these three villages, Undiksha had previously distributed basic food assistance to residents in a number of villages in Buleleng Regency. Apart from that, there were also sinks in public places scattered in a number of locations and handing over of personal protective equipment to the medical staff at the Singaraja Army Hospital, Buleleng Hospital, Pratama Girimas Hospital, Mangusada Hospital, Badung and Wangaya Hospital Denpasar.
