JAKARTA (JP): Footwear producer PT Pratama Abadi Industri, a
subcontractor of Nike International Inc., held a one-day health
course on anemia at its factory in Tangerang Monday.

The company said in a statement made available to The Jakarta
Post yesterday that the course, which was held in conjunction
with the commemoration of Indonesia's 53rd Independence Day, was
aimed at providing more than 5,000 of its female employees with
knowledge of anemia.

The course was part of various activities, including
traditional competitions like tug-of-war and areca palm climbing
competitions and a karaoke contest to sales of cheap essential
goods both for the factory's workers and nearby residents.

"Independence Day is a joyous occasion for Indonesian
everywhere and Nike intends to ensure that its workers and their
families are able to join the celebrations amid the prolonged
economic crisis," Tony Nava, Nike's country manager for
Indonesia, said. (ivy)
