The details of the distribution are: Tembalang Village 320 packages, Bulusan 320 packages, and Keramas Village 300 packages,” said Nurjazuli, after the assistance handover ceremony from IKA UNDIP.
This assistance, he added, was a form of UNDIP’s concern in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is because masks, disinfectants and hand sanitizers are urgently needed by the community in carrying out health protocols. He reminded that many of our brothers and sisters were forced not to wear masks not because they were disobedient but because the amount of it was limited. Therefore, an assistance was needed.

And symbolically given to each head of the village, and also witnessed by head districts at the UNDIP campus.
