A: I started a small movement in West Java called Pelukan Rakyat during the pandemic. It means “People’s Hug.” Volunteers join an action team to cook, package and deliver food for free to people who need it. Many people are living day to day, and we want to help. This to show that we are grateful to God. We believe in caring and giving back to people and the community. And motivating people to remember that you don’t need to be rich to take some action to help others.Pelukan Rakyat uses AtmaGo to organize action teams. We use the new feature known as Ruang Komunitas AtmaGo (Community Room) to share updates, track our impact and reach new members to serve more people.
