JAKARTA – To continue the Turkey and Syrian care movements series, Dompet Dhuafa once again spread concern through the Walk for Humanity action.

Previously, Dompet Dhuafa has held various humanitarian actions, such as holding fundraisers that can be accessed through the Turkey and Syria Earthquake Donation pages, the departure of volunteers and medical teams to help victims at the disaster site, as well as prayers and prayers together. This time, the concern was again echoed by a healthy road action entitled “Walk for Humanity” as a symbol of solidarity for the victims of the Turkish and Syrian earthquakes.

The action of the healthy road motorcade that traces downtown Jakarta is expected to refresh people’s memories of the natural disaster earthquake that shook Turkey and Syria precisely a week ago (Monday, 06/02/2023). Walk For Humanity was started at 07.00 WIB by hundreds of Dompet Dhuafa people who docked at the gathering point of the Kendal Dukuh Atas Tunnel; they looked compact, wearing a black dress code that became a symbol of mourning for the disaster that befell the victims of Turkey and Syrian earthquakes.
In this action, the concern for Turkey and Syria was repeatedly echoed, starting from the Kendal Dukuh Atas Tunnel, continuing around Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, to ending at the HI Roundabout, which then returned to the Kendal Dukuh Atas Tunnel. On the other hand, breakfast snacks were also rolled out for free by the Dompet Dhuafa Community Service Institution (LPM) entitled DARLING or Dompet Dhuafa Mobile Kitchen.
