SOUTH TANGERANG — Even though Ramadan has passed, the goodness of Ramadan is still being felt by benefit recipients, until now. The spirit of kindness is also manifested by Otella & Buranchi Restaurant, a business engaged in the Food & Beverage Industry. To realize this synergy of kindness, Otella & Buranchi Restaurant also collaborated with Dompet Dhuafa to cooperate.
This collaboration was established during Ramadan 1444 H. Otella & Buranchi Restaurant set aside 7% of its profits from every purchase of Ramadan Special Menu and Iftar Package. Carrying the hashtag #BuranchiBagiBagi, all donations collected were then distributed through Dompet Dhuafa to help anak yatim dan duafa (orphans and dhuafa) in the form of cash compensation, school kits, and providing a dining experience at Otella & Buranchi Restaurant.
For this reason, on Saturday (27/5/2023), as many as 20 orphans and underprivileged from Yayasan Nurul Falah Haramain came to attend the Orphan Compensation event which took place at the restaurant. Located in Alam Sutera, South Tangerang, the orphans and the underprivileged came with enthusiastic and happy faces to be able to enjoy the experience of eating Japanese-style dishes at Otella & Buranchi Restaurant.

In addition, this event was also enlivened by fairy tales by Kak Nia Ramlan who told educational fairy tales for the children. Besides being entertained, the children could also get lessons from these fairy tales.
Also present to welcome the event that day, Utammi Sri Lestari as ZIS Dompet Dhuafa Partnership Manager. She expressed her hopes for this activity.
“We hope that this will become a positive spirit for all children who currently may have more limitations that need to be fought compared to other children. Hopefully this will also be an influence for the society to be able to share and to have similar kindness,” said Tammi.
Vina as Head of Marketing Otella & Buranchi also explained, “We channeled this assistance through the help from Dompet Dhuafa organization which we believe is sincere and passionate in organizing this event. We want to give a positive impact on children and create meaningful and memorable memories for them after this Ramadan celebration,” said Vina.

After listening to the fairy tales and welcomes, the children were also allowed to eat the lunch with a full menu, ranging from appetizers, main courses, to desserts. They also received school kits given directly by Chef Otella & Buranchi to the children to support their school needs, as well as cash donations given directly to them.

Ahmad Syukron Aulia as a companion of Yayasan Nurul Falah Haramain also expressed his gratitude to Dompet Dhuafa and Otella. “Thank you to Dompet Dhuafa and Otella & Buranchi Restaurant for making the children happy today. It is also a pleasure to be able to accompany and invite those who are present today from the village to be able to enjoy restaurant food. Hopefully in the future, more and more of this collaboration of kindness will be established, so that orphans can also go to places that they have not been able to go to that place by themselves,” he said.
This moment was also very memorable for the orphans and underprivileged who were present. One of them was Husna (10), she cheerfully told her experience of watching fairy tales from Kak Nia.
“The fairy tale is really exciting, I hope I can listen more fairy tales later,” Husna admitted, cheerfully.
Eating at a restaurant with a variety of luxurious menu served was also the first time for Husna.
“Well, eating at a restaurant like this is the first time for me, it’s really fun,” said Husna.
The experience of eating at a restaurant with a variety of delicious menu will also be stored in Zahra’s (9) memory, as a beautiful and pleasant memory and experience.
“The food is really good, the fairy tale is fun and I can also take lessons from the fairy tale by Kak Nia earlier,” concluded Zahra. (Dompet Dhuafa/Awalia Ramadhani)
