MALUKU TENGGARA, MALUKU — Ohoidertawun Village became the first location for the distribution of sacrificial animals from Mimi Campervan and her followers. The owner of Rahmi Syofia’s real name entrusted the sacrificial animals and the slaughter procession to Dompet Dhuafa. Even so, Mimi Campervan also oversaw the distribution of the sacrificial animals.
Ohoidertawun Village in Kei Kecil District, Southeast Maluku, was the first location visited by Mimi and the Dompet Dhuafa Tebar Kurban Animal (THK) Team. There, they distributed two cows to approximately 73 households. Mimi Campervan happily distributed the qurbani meat to several beneficiaries’ houses, with the hope that it could be immediately served and eaten with their families.
Reportedly, the people of Ohoidertawun Village have never tasted beef sacrifice. So far, they only get cooked goat meat, and one family only gets one bowl of goat soup.
“Kaka, we are very grateful. It’s great to have cow sacrifice here. Finally, we can taste enough beef for one village,” said one of the Ohoidertawun villagers to Mimi Campervan and the THK Dompet Dhuafa Team.
For information, Ohoidertawun is a remote village in Kei Kecil sub-district. There are 3 religions practiced by the people of Ohoidertawun, namely Protestantism, Catholicism, and Islam. Although they have different beliefs, this does not make their spirit and family spirit fade. In fact, thanks to the close-knit family, Ohoidertawun Village has become an icon of the most peaceful interfaith village.

There was something unique that the team and Mimi Campervan found during the enumeration process. Instead of using plastic containers, the local community uses “Kamdada” to contain the qurbani meat that will be distributed to the residents. Kamdada is a woven material typical of the Kei people. While cutting and chopping the qurbani meat, the women also weave Kamdada to become a container for the qurbani meat that they will take home. (Dompet Dhuafa)
