We prepared more than 1500 food packs to be distributed to Kemantren community today. The day started early with preparation at 07.00 AM, when our staff and customers assisted by the village officials, stood by at Balai Desa Kemantren ready for the flood of locals coming to collect their food pack. The villagers walked in, with vouchers in hand, to receive their goodies. We gave out more than a thousand boxes on the first day. Thank you to all who participated in making this event as success.

Ramadhan is a month full of blessings, and Lamongan Shorebase chooses to be part of that blessing. Our committee set up food for more than 1500 people on the front porch of Al-Abror Mosque in Kemantren. Together with Muslimins in Kemantren, our supportive customers and employees, we broke fast at the sound of Adzan Maghrib. After a speech by Lamongan Shorebase representative, Pak Sugeng Sudarman, the local ustadz closed the event with prayers.

We encouraged all employees to do a good deed during the Holy month of Ramadan by breaking fast with the children at the Orphanage Yayasan Sunan Drajat, Paciran. This orphanage accommodates and supports about 50 orphans and single parent children, from toddlers up to age 17 years old. This joyous event was filled with prayers and laughter both adult and children broke fast, played games and ate lots of snack and sweets together.

Another successful event during the holy month was made possible by the support of our employees, leaders and teacher of the orphanage, and the families of the orphans.

In line with our good neighbor and sharing our good fortune initiatives, we distributed boxes of kurma (Dates), to the surrounding community, fishermen, and mosques to usher in Ramadhan 1439 H. This yearly activity takes place over two days. It is important this activity is held the during the first week so that all who are fasting can use kurma to break their fast or as Takjil.

Lamongan Shorebase celebrated Idul Adha together with Kemantren people today. We presented animals to be sacrificed to the representative of Al-Abror Mosque. The meat will be distributed to the less fortunate people from the surrounding areas. We do this to prove our sincerity to God. We thank God for the time to be able to share with the unfortunate. Once again, Selamat Hari Raya IdulAdha!

The Ta’mir of our own Lamongan Shorbase Al-Kautsar mosque put together a schedule to visit the Orphanages in the areas surrounding Lamongan Shorebase. This year, 2017, we visited an orphanage in Blimbing village which is home to more than 40 orphans. We spoke with the head caretaker of this orphanage, and he shared with us his struggles to keep this orphanage running and to provide the best for those under her care. Sharing our good fortune and prayers with them, we handed out donations, gifts, and dished out meals to all. We hope to meet them again in the future with more opportunities to share stories, food, and good fortune.

Annually, we organize a charity pray and dine event with the Sunan Drajat Orphanage. We are constantly working on further developing our relationship with the Orphanage, its leaders and children. Then event was opened with a short speech by Pak Edi, who is the head of the Orphanage. Everyone filled their bellies with food and filled the air with joy and laughter. Good bags were then handed out to all the children in the orphanage at the closing of the event.

People gathered at 07:00AM in the morning with Foodbox coupons in their hands, eager to receive their share of the Foodbox Distribution. One of many CSR events for the community, the Foodbox distribution was held at Balai Desa Kemantren.

The aim of this event is share good fortune to our community. Each box contains basic daily necessities such as rice, cooking oil, sugar, and various snacks, which can be shared within individual families.

Throughout the two days, we distributed more than 1,500 boxes.

Sharing is always an act of caring. Staff from all departments are each assigned a day where they will distribute Ta’jil which they bought by collecting donations from their colleagues. Hundreds of packets of Ta’jil were distributed at a station set-up at the main road.
