Project Sukacita<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"Project](\"https:\/\/rgei-2.hellopomelo.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ear-cleaning-2-300x200.jpg\")
<\/a>Project Sukacita members provide a variety of community, education, health and medical support services for the community in Pangkalan Kerinci.<\/p><\/div>\n
Later in the evening, the spotlight shone on Tanoto Foundation\u2019s flagship community service project, Project Sukacita<\/a>. Members of the project committee presented highlights and updates on the 2018 edition of Project Sukacita. The project reached out to children from daycare, kindergarten and elementary schools in Rantau Baru, Pangkalan Kerinci, Indonesia, which saw Tanoto Scholars involved in providing services and support in areas such as health, nutrition, hygiene and literacy.<\/p>\nIn addition to conducting health screenings for adults and children, the project team rolled out programmes focused on longer-term outcomes. One of these programmes aims to strengthen inter-generational education and support for good health, hygiene and nutritional habits. The team will look into developing initiatives to keep parents informed and engaged, so they may play a larger and more active role in their children\u2019s health.<\/p>\n
Tanoto Scholar and Project Sukacita\u2019s former project lead Jerry welcomed the improvements and continuation of Project Sukacita. He added, \u201cCoordinating the project is by no means an easy feat as we balance it with our schooling commitments. However, the experience has given us a tremendous opportunity to learn, grow and develop, taking many of us out of our comfort zones to serve others. I feel proud Project Sukacita continues to evolve and improve itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
