Donation for Seribu Islands

Donation for Seribu Islands

City administration has received a Rp 18 million (US$8,226)
donation from PT Australia Indonesia Milk Industry for the
procurement of a motor boat for public transportation of
residents of the Seribu Islands, North Jakarta.

The donation was handed over by representatives of PT
Australia Indonesia Milk Industry, a dairy product company
popularly known as PT Indomilk, to Deputy Governor for Public
Welfare Affairs R.S. Museno at the Ancol recreation center on
Saturday.

Museno said the city administration is grateful to receive the
donation. "The boat to be bought with the donation will be used
to distribute clean water for the islanders," he said.

PT Indomilk agreed to add another Rp 5 million when its
representatives found out that the initial donation was only
enough to buy a boat and its engine without the fiberglass top.

City administration has strived to improve the conditions of
the Seribu Islands, where there are four under-developed
villages. The four are part of 11 under-developed villages
throughout Jakarta.

After receiving the donation, Museno, who was accompanied by
the chief executive officer of PT Indomilk A. Wahab Asjari,
presented awards to the winners of the company's 8th anniversary
quiz. (mas)
