Andhika explained that this training aims to share knowledge in covering THK 1445 H. So that the QC and Monev Team can radiate a strong message about sharing and the positive impact of qurbani to the wider community.
“Stories about people are always interesting, but the journey and perspective of each of us must be different. Now all of us, especially Dompet Dhuafa employees, have the same opportunity to carry out our humanitarian duties and have our own stories from the realities we find. So this is an encouragement for us to write stories from our work journey and share them in the medium of photo and video stories. This training in writing features and video stories can help explore ideas and compile stories about the situation of Dompet Dhuafa’s qurbani animal farms as well as the unique stories of qurbani beneficiaries in remote areas,” said Andhika.
Denty also appreciated the training. According to her, the ability to write features can foster creativity for teams who go to remote areas. In addition, it can also make it easier for readers to feel present in every THK journey of the QC and Monev Team.
“I am very happy to be present in the middle of this training. Today’s session will be very useful for friends who are used to traveling, especially to remote areas of Indonesia. Apart from being a memory in itself, this (writing features) can make readers come along with your journey,” said the author of Hari-Hari di Bloomsburry and Pelangi di Timur Tengah.

Dompet Dhuafa’s Marketing Content Division Manager, Dedi Fadlil, said that this training is an effort to maintain the mandate of the qurbani. The vast reach of Dompet Dhuafa’s qurbani areas in all corners of the archipelago requires the Content Creative Team to work effectively. With the THK QC Team deployed to the field, ensuring the qualifications of these sacrificial animals must also be conveyed to the public. How do we maintain the quality assurance and quality of sacrificial animals and no less important the region and potential beneficiaries.
“Hopefully, the documentation of field conditions from the QC Team is a form of extension of this cross-division. Ensuring the qualifications of these qurbani animals must also be conveyed to the public, especially with interesting stories. We will try to make various efforts so that more mandates can be maximally absorbed,” he concluded. (Dompet Dhuafa)
