In the spirit of compassion and the humanitarian values taught in Islam, Al Siddiq International School organised a Ramadhan Social Service Programme on Wednesday, 11 March 2026. This activity became an important moment to cultivate empathy, togetherness, and the spirit of sharing with others, particularly with the community living around the school environment.
The event was officially opened by the Director of Al Siddiq International School, Mr Ginandjar Citra Cimarga, M.Pd. In his remarks, he stated that social service activities are an essential part of character education for students. Through such programmes, students not only learn academically but also gain a deeper understanding of social awareness, empathy, and responsibility as members of society.
The next speech was delivered by the Principal, Mr Amal Dzikrullah, M.Pd, who emphasised the importance of viewing the holy month of Ramadhan as a time to strengthen solidarity and increase acts of kindness. He also expressed appreciation for the involvement of all parties—students, teachers, and the school committee—who contributed to the successful organisation of this social service programme.
As a symbol of the beginning of the activity, a ceremonial handover of the social service aid was conducted by the Chairperson of the School Committee, Mr Triyoga, to the Principal. This handover represented a tangible form of collaboration between the school and the committee in supporting social programmes that benefit the wider community.
Following the opening session, the programme continued with the distribution of social service packages to residents living around the Al Siddiq International School area. Notably, the distribution process was carried out directly by the junior high school students of Al Siddiq in turns. With great enthusiasm and a strong sense of responsibility, the students handed the aid packages to members of the community, allowing them to experience first-hand the true meaning of sharing and serving others.
The activity took place in a warm atmosphere filled with a sense of togetherness. Smiles and happiness could be seen both from the beneficiaries and from the students who took part. This experience became a valuable lesson for the students, showing them that Islamic values are not only learned in the classroom but are also realised through real actions in everyday life.
Through this Ramadhan Social Service Programme, Al Siddiq International School hopes to continue instilling the values of compassion, empathy, and generosity among its students, while also strengthening the harmonious relationship between the school and the surrounding community.
Indeed, Ramadhan becomes even more meaningful when its blessings are shared together, in the spirit of generosity, care, and spreading goodness.
