On Saturday, 23rd of April 2022, representatives of Habitat Indonesia together with twelve Standard Chartered employees, went for a field visit to Cimandala village, Karang Tengah Village, Bogor Regency. The visit aimed to paint several stalls owned by local residents and provide financial management training.
Twelve Standard Chartered employees were divided into two groups. Nine people painted houses while the remaining three gave financial management training. There were about twenty shop owners who participated in the activity.
A small incident occurred when the car carrying Habitat Indonesia and Standart Chartered team emitted smoke because it was forced to climb a steep road, however, that episode did not dampen the team’s enthusiasm to keep doing build activities.
This build activity is Habitat Indonesia’s first volunteer activity after being suspended for two years since the pandemic. The build activities, of course, carried out with strict health protocols.
