Medan, 16 Desember 2022. In welcoming Christmas and the year 2023, employees of PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL Axiata) for the West Region paid attention and distributed donations to children living in orphanages. On Thursday (15/12), employee representatives who are members of XL Christian West Region came to the Anak Indonesia Membangun Orphanage Foundation, in Cinta Damai Village, Medan Helvetia District, Medan City. Also present at this event were the Group Head of XL Axiata for the West Region, Desy Sari Dewi; XL Axiata's Head of Sales for Greater Medan, Oloan Monang Sinambela; and Deputy Head of the Anak Indonesia Membangun Orphanage Foundation, Yuanita Sinaga.
Desy said, "This activity is a form of gratitude and concern from XL Axiata employees to share the love with the surrounding community in need. We got information about this orphanage, making us feel moved to channel donations as a form of our attention and concern. We hope the children here can celebrate Christmas and the New Year with love and happiness. We hope that what we give will be useful to the children in this orphanage and inspire them to continue learning."
Desy added that XL Axiata employees are not only focused on the work area but can contribute more to the country. XL Axiata's management also wants to create a culture where employees care about the surrounding community. The XL Axiata big family has always helped people in need through various activities. Hopefully, such activities can inspire and create domino effects for other beneficial things.
Donations were given in the form of basic needs, such as rice, cooking oil, eggs, vermicelli, sugar, and cash. These donations were collected from the extended family of XL Axiata employees in Sumatra.
During the visit to the orphanage, Rev. Johanes Purba led prayers, and the orphanage children were entertained. The head of the Anak Indonesia Membangun Orphanage Foundation, Rev. Johanes Purba, thanked XL Axiata employees for sharing their love and care with the children at the orphanage. May all XL Axiata employees be blessed with good health, and may XL Axiata continue to grow and prosper. God bless us all.
