Probolinggo city administration has been relentlessly distributing staple-food packages in Ramadhan month as the COVID-19 pandemic is still accelerating. After distributing the aid to the people using the data collected by the social community, having a roadshow to orphanages, Mayor Hadi Zainal Abidin distributed staple-food packages to thousands of pedicab and public transport drivers on Saturday (23/5).
“Again, we distributed the packages to the pedicab and public transport drivers because they deserve more staple-food packages as they are heavily affected by the pandemic. Hopefully, it can be useful,” Mayor Habib Hadi said while distributing 2,242 staple-food packages.
The mayor gave the people education to wear a mask at work, wash their hand frequently, and maintain their health to avoid COVID-19.
“I hope the aid can ease the burden of these people. We will distribute more and do the best for the people,” he added.
The city administration appreciates all sides who participate and care about each other, including the community who participate in distributing the aid to the people affected by COVID-19.
“I’m sure by having togetherness we can help the people who have not received any aid because everyone is helping each other by giving information so that the aid can be distributed to those people in need,” the mayor said.
One of the pedicab drivers, Nur Hasan, a resident of Sumber Wetan urban village, was grateful to receive the aid and thank the government for the aid. “Thank you, mayor. May you live long,” he said. (alfien_tr)
