Yogyakarta, the month of Ramadan 1445H at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM, was marked by a bazaar and social service which was held on Thursday, March 28 2024 at 08.30 AM. This event was led by the Dharma Wanita Association (woman organizations for women civil servant and civil servants’ wife) of FVM UGM. On this occasion there were 26 stalls with various kinds of products ranging from food and drinks, side dishes, clothing, accessories, bags, glasses, Tupperware, orchids, and medical equipment. This bazaar is open to the public, so visitors from outside of the campus who stop by can also shop at the bazaar.
This bazaar and social service aims to prosper local MSMEs and FVM partners. The prices of the products sold at this bazaar are quite affordable so they can be enjoyed by all groups. The organizing committee, members of the Dharma Wanita Association, also provided low-price food supplies in the form of omega eggs, wheat flour, oil and rice. Prices range from 8,000 thousand rupiah to 10,000 thousand rupiah only.
The head of the Dharma Wanita Association, Mrs. Yulaeni Teguh Budipitojo, said that after this bazaar takes place, income from donors will also be given to retired workers, educational staff who are experiencing sickness and difficulties, and families in need. After that, they will visit social institutions (orphanage, nursing home, etc) in Yogyakarta.
The social service event began with a symbolic distribution of basic necessities to cleaning service staff and non-civil servant workers. There were more than 50 basic food packages given to full-time and contract employees as well as cleaning service personnel at Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM.
This event is also a gathering place for alumni to mingle, shop, or open a stand on the campus. Even though it rained in the morning, the event continued smoothly and lively.
This Ramadan bazaar and social service event supports the values of SGDs (Sustainable Development Goals), namely SDG 1: No Poverty, SDG 2: No Hunger, SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, and SGD 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
