CT ARSA Foundation Spreads Ramadan Joy Through Gebrag Kalcer Roadshow
CT ARSA Foundation has launched Gerakan Berbagi Kala Ceria (Gebrag Kalcer) Ramadan, a roadshow initiative designed to share happiness with underprivileged communities during the holy month of Ramadan.
Founder of CT ARSA Foundation, Anita Ratnasari Tanjung, announced at the roadshow’s launch event in the Transmedia Lobby on Friday, 27 February, that Gebrag Kalcer will visit seven locations until Saturday, 7 March. The seven destinations are Jakarta, Karawang, Cirebon, Brebes, Tegal, Sukoharjo, and Gunungkidul.
Anita expressed hope that the initiative will assist impoverished communities and marginalised groups, particularly during Ramadan. She noted that this follows the foundation’s recent disaster relief efforts in Sumatra and represents a continuation of CT ARSA’s mission during the holy month.
“The locations we visit are houses of inspiration and Islamic boarding schools below the poverty line, as well as fishing communities,” Anita explained. “These are all underprivileged people in marginalised areas. This reflects the vision and mission of CT ARSA Foundation—to break the cycle of poverty through quality education and optimal healthcare, and to uplift the underprivileged.”
The initiative encompasses various programmes including Gebrag Pangan (food distribution), Gebrag Sembako (basic necessities packages), Gebrag Kuy! for orphans, literacy activities, PELITA (Islamic Boarding School Literacy Week), and a literacy roadshow. The foundation will distribute nutritious meals, 10,000 basic necessity packages, gifts for orphans, and conduct literacy and religious activities.
“We will hold competitions including Quranic recitation contests, Quran reading competitions, and literacy activities to provide knowledge to children,” Anita stated. “We want these disadvantaged children to also experience happiness during this blessed month of Ramadan through various competitions organised by our team.”
Anita hopes that CT ARSA Foundation’s initiative will serve as an example of empathy towards those in great need and inspire other young people to work together for the uplift of underprivileged communities.
