Lelly Sosidhalia, Head of DAHANA\u2019s Community Development Partnership Program (PKBL) explained that there were 455 children participating in this year\u2019s social event. They came from 7 posyandus <\/em>or Integrated Services Posts spread in Sadawarna. The term posyandu <\/em>itself is used to describe center(s) for pre- and postnatal health care and information for women and children under five. Aside from distributing nutritious food, the mothers also came to check their children\u2019s health and receive free medications for their kids.<\/p>\n \u201cAt this social event, we involved cadres of posyandus <\/em>to coordinate with mothers living in the surrounding area (of the posyandus<\/em>). We also partnered with Cibogo Community Health Clinic (Puskesmas)<\/em> to provide child check up and medications,\u201d Lelly stated.<\/p>\n Furthermore, Lelly explained that the social event was a form of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in developing the community living in DAHANA\u2019s surrounding area, particularly in the health sector. This event was also part of a series in celebrating PT DAHANA (Persero)\u2019s 48th<\/sup> birthday on October 22, 2014.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery year we always organize a social event for charity in the health sector to celebrate DAHANA\u2019s birthday. This year we prioritize the act of providing nutritious supplemental food for children under 5. The main consideration was that kids under the age of 5 needed healthy and nutritious food for their health and brain development. We hope that by organizing an event like this, mothers would be able to keep paying attention to their children\u2019s health. Dahana itself can only provide a little stimulation to the community to keep maintaining their health,\u201d Lelly furthermore explained.<\/p>\n This event also received positive respond from Head of Cibogo\u2019s Community Health Clinic, dr. Wahyuni Suci Wulandari. She appreciated what Dahana had done and also hoped that other companies would follow Dahana\u2019s steps. The act of providing nutritious food for children and also free health check up and medication was one of the ways to bring community awareness of the importance of caring for their family\u2019s health. Many of the mothers there were willing to consult the doctor about their children\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n \u201cBy organizing this kind of event, they were finally willing to check their children\u2019s health and consult the doctor. Those with severe illness were immediately referred to the nearest community health clinics or hospital to receive further examination and medication. Based on the check up carried out in the event, we found lots of children who were actually suffering from Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) and flu caused by the weather condition,\u201d dr. Wahyuni said.<\/p>\n The posyandu <\/em>cadres themselves thought that this event was very useful in helping them control the mothers and children\u2019s health. Head of Posyandu Nusa Indah 5 revealed that there were 80 children under 5 in her neighborhood, but some of their mothers were still reluctant to bring their children to the posyandu<\/em>. By organizing this event, they were willing to come and have their children examined. The children also received nutritious food supplement such as milk, baby porridge, agar-agar <\/em>(jelly made from seaweed), biscuits, fruit, and vitamin tablets. Alhamdulillah<\/em>, the mothers and their kids living in our surrounding posyandu all came here,\u201d Ikom commented.<\/p>\n This year, the nutritious food aid program were only targeted to reach 500 children under five living in the district of Cibogo. Lelly said that next year\u2019s target would be to reach not only one, but several districts in the Subang region.
