The servant of God, almost in every major flooding in Jakarta always prepared 100 packs of rice per day for the refugees. His wife prepared it herself. Before lunch or dinner, the father of two children returns home. By driving his motorcycle, he and his wife then delivered the food to the refugee camps.

Silent. They directly help the refugees without discriminating religious, ethnic, class, and party. To help is helping, full stop, no other frills.

The servants of God who have high solidarity were also seen for example in Flood Evacuation Locations in Attahiriyah Mosque, Kampung Melayu, Tebet, South Jakarta.
