The founder of Skolari Community, Novi Eastiyanto, welcomed this collaborative agenda openly. According to him, this Long Run will benefit both parties. Especially as Eid-ul-Adha approaches, the socialization of qurbani needs to be done.
“Our community consists of diverse individuals, ranging from age, profession, and interests of each member. Of course, this benefits Dompet Dhuafa to socialize the goodness of qurbani. We also convey to Dompet Dhuafa’s friends about how to run healthily. This can broaden each perspective,” said Novi.
Skolari Community Runners, Wildan and Widia also admitted that they got new insights regarding sacrifice at Dompet Dhuafa. That qurbani payments at Dompet Dhuafa can be made easily using the transfer method or QRIS. The distribution point of qurbani beneficiaries also reaches remote areas, touching 29 provinces in Indonesia.
“This is very unique. Usually Skolari collaborates with running races. But this time with Dompet Dhuafa. I got new insights regarding qurbani. I just found out that there is an organization that distributes qurbani to remote areas of Indonesia, and the payment is easy, and can be done anywhere. There’s no reason not to perform qurbani,” said Wildan and Widia in unison.
