Ramadan is more than a time of fasting—it’s a season of giving, togetherness, and reflection. On March 26, 2025, Archipelago took this spirit to heart by hosting a heartfelt iftar gathering at Munik Resto, uniting their team with the Pelestari Kampung Gasong community, a group of resilient individuals in Jakarta who make a living by collecting and selling recyclables. But this wasn’t just about breaking fast together—it was about breaking barriers, bridging communities, and bringing smiles to those who need them most.

Kampung Gasong: A Community That Inspires
Nestled in the heart of Jakarta, Kampung Gasong—also known as "Gashonk"—is home to families who work tirelessly to sustain themselves. Life here isn’t easy, but their perseverance is nothing short of inspiring. Understanding the challenges they face, Archipelago stepped in—not as outsiders, but as partners in compassion.

For one special evening, 28 families from Kampung Gasong were invited to share a warm iftar meal, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and supported. However, the event went beyond food—it was a night filled with laughter, meaningful connections, and thoughtful giving.

More Than Just Charity—A Night of Joy
The iftar gathering was designed not just to provide aid but to uplift spirits and strengthen bonds. The event featured:

• A heartwarming Kultum (religious talk) to reflect on gratitude and community spirit.
• Fun and interactive games for children, filling the venue with laughter.
• Essential food aid packages, including rice, powdered milk, cooking oil, and daily necessities.
• Special gift packages for each family as a token of care and appreciation.

Beyond the Kampung Gasong residents, Archipelago also welcomed media representatives, corporate team members, and local community leaders, all standing together in the true essence of Ramadan—solidarity and kindness.

Spreading the Spirit of Giving
As the night came to an end, one thing was clear—giving is not just about providing; it’s about connecting. Archipelago’s initiative is a reminder that corporate success is best measured not just in profits but in positive impact.

This Ramadan, let’s take inspiration from their mission: to give more, share more, and uplift those around us.
