LUBUKLINGGAU – In celebration of Muharram 1447 H, DT Peduli Lubuk Linggau held a heartwarming event titled “Pick-Your-Own Shopping” as part of the Muharram Care for Orphans (MPY) program. The event brought together 30 orphaned and underprivileged children from around Lubuk Linggau for a joyful day of shopping, playing, and dining on Sunday, July 20, 2025.
The activity aimed to create lasting memories, provide emotional support, and strengthen social bonds through a fun, engaging experience. Taking place at JM Supermarket from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the day began with the children freely choosing essential items they needed, followed by playground games and a group lunch.
The event was supported by 10 volunteers and warmly welcomed 15 participating donors, who not only contributed financially but were also physically present to accompany and interact with the children – creating a touching sense of togetherness.
“It was such a heartwarming and calming experience to walk alongside these amazing kids. Truly a moment to cherish. Thank you, DT Peduli, for making this possible,” said Bunda Yosi, one of the attending donors.
In his opening remarks, Andian Pradita, Head of DT Peduli Lubuk Linggau, shared a message of gratitude:
“Alhamdulillah, may this event be a source of joy and deeper connection for all of us. We thank all donors who supported and prayed for the success of today’s event. May Allah bless and ease all of your affairs.”
One of the beneficiaries, Dio, whose mother is battling cancer, expressed his joy:
“Thank you, DT Peduli and all the donors for giving me this happy experience – shopping, playing, and eating together. I’m so happy. It’s my first time coming here. Thank you so much again!”
