SURABAYA, East Java: The latest trend in the city: community
leaders and entrepreneurs join hands to fight poverty.

East Java governor Basofi Sudirman said that more and more
entrepreneurs and community leaders are raising funds to support
poverty eradication projects.

Governor Basofi said, "It's a terrific trend. I think efforts
to wipe out poverty will bring more results if more quarters
contribute," Antara reported.

On Tuesday, he received Rp 54 million (US$26,000) for poverty
eradication projects from a consortium building a 20 kilometer
toll road connecting Surabaya and Gresik. (pan)
