The Dharma Wanita Persatuan (DWP) of Hasanuddin University (Unhas) held its Ramadan Amaliyah (charitable deeds) 1447 H activities, combined with the regular monthly meeting and members’ arisan (rotating savings gathering). The event took place in a spirit of togetherness starting at 09:30 WITA (Central Indonesia Time) in the LPMPP Hall, Tamalanrea Campus, Makassar, on Tuesday (10 March).
The agenda served as a forum to strengthen ties of friendship while reinforcing a spirit of social concern within the Unhas academic community.
The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) of Unhas acted as host. The event was attended by various DWP Unhas officials and members. Also present were Dean of FISIP Unhas and Faculty DWP Advisor Prof. Dr. Phil. Sukri, M.Si., Chair of DWP Unhas Mrs. Hartati Tamti Jamaluddin Jompa, and Chair of DWP FISIP Unhas dr. Hery Sukri.
Chair of DWP FISIP Unhas dr. Hery Sukri expressed gratitude for the holding of the event. Besides strengthening ties among members, it also provided a space to share useful knowledge and experience.
The members’ attendance was both an honor and a source of encouragement for everyone involved. Such moments of togetherness were seen as able to strengthen the solidarity of DWP members in supporting the institution’s various activities.
On the same occasion, Prof. Sukri stressed that DWP is an inseparable part of the Unhas academic community. The organization serves as a strategic partner in supporting the institution’s programs while strengthening values of togetherness on campus.
“The Ramadan Amaliyah activity is not only an act of worship but also a means of strengthening ties among members. Through such activities, familial relations on campus can continue to be well maintained,” said Prof. Sukri.
Meanwhile, Chair of DWP Unhas Mrs. Hartati Tanti Jamaluddin Jompa expressed hope that the spirit of togetherness and friendship among members can continue to be nurtured. The bonds built through the organization’s various activities are expected not only to deepen friendship but also to become ties that bring goodness in this world and the hereafter.
“We extend our thanks and appreciation to the DWP FISIP Unhas officials who hosted this event,” said Mrs. Hartati.
DWP Unhas distributed 465 basic food packages (sembako) to beneficiaries on campus. The aid was distributed to security guards, cleaning staff, drivers, kindergarten teachers, community health post (posyandu) workers, and cemetery caretakers who have long contributed to supporting campus activities.
The food packages were funded by 72 donors from among DWP and BKMT members. Through this support, the committee raised Rp52,359,000, which was turned into food packages as an expression of care and a spirit of sharing during the holy month of Ramadan.
The event was then closed with a religious lecture delivered by Ust. Dr. H. Rahmat Abd Rahman. In the sermon, the speaker invited participants to see Ramadan as a moment to improve the quality of their faith and increase good deeds, especially during the last ten days of Ramadan, which are believed to carry great virtue because of the night of Lailatul Qadar.
