Lippobank helps flood victims

JAKARTA (JP): Lippobank will hold community outreach programs throughout Indonesia starting from Dec. 21 to Dec. 23 to celebrate Christmas, Idul Fitri and New Year.

The bank said the programs would be held in several provinces, especially in areas recently hit by floods and landslides, such as Central Java, North Sumatra, West Sumatra and North Sulawesi.

"These areas will receive building material to repair public facilities, such as schools, mosques and irrigation," the bank said in a statement.

The programs will be also held in other areas to rebuild and repair several orphanages and nursing homes for the elderly in Tangerang, Bogor, Bandung, Tasikmalaya, Cirebon and several other towns in Java.
