Jakarta, August 15, 2025 – Laughter, warm smiles, and heartfelt connections filled Taman Cattleya as Jakarta International College (JIC) proudly hosted the “Berbela Rasa dengan Pengemudi OJOL Tuna Rungu dan Perempuan” event. This special gathering celebrated the upcoming 80th Indonesian Independence Day with a mission to share kindness and honor the hard work of those in the online transportation industry.
The event reflected this year’s national Independence Day theme: “Bersatu Berdaulat, Rakyat Sejahtera, Indonesia Maju”, highlighting unity, compassion, and respect for everyday heroes who work tirelessly on the streets.
A Celebration with Heart and Purpose
The fresh morning air at Taman Cattleya was alive with energy from participants, volunteers, and community members. Although the Governor of Jakarta could not attend, the spirit of the day remained strong with the presence of Dr. Ali Maulana Hakim, S.IP., M.Si., Assistant for People’s Welfare at the Jakarta Provincial Government.
In his speech, Dr. Ali reminded everyone that supporting vulnerable groups—such as people with disabilities and women in the online transportation sector—is a true reflection of the spirit of independence.
“We must uphold the spirit of independence and togetherness. Limitations should never be an excuse. Every challenge has a solution,” he stated to applause from the crowd.
The President of UNIJI Dr. Wenny Candra Mandagie, S.E., M.Pd. also shared a heartfelt message to all attendees, recalling personal experiences with the dedication of online drivers.
“Your perseverance, even in the rain, to fulfill customer needs is truly inspiring. It is a commitment that deserves recognition.”
Among those who came to share in the moment were drivers from various online transportation platforms widely used in Indonesia such as Grab and Gojek whose presence not only represented the spirit of hard work and perseverance on the streets, but also brought together a diverse group of everyday heroes united in the celebration of compassion and independence.
JIC Philanthropy Club’s Inspiring Involvement
A highlight of the event was the touching involvement of the JIC Philanthropy Club. Representing JIC’s commitment to social responsibility, members stood at the aid distribution tables, personally greeting drivers, lifting grocery packages, and engaging in sign language conversations with deaf and mute participants.
Michael, a JIC student and club member, shared his thoughts:
“We're from JC philanthropy club and today we're celebrating independence day by helping out drivers who are in need in disabilities by giving them food and charity work thank you god bless you.”
Gifts That Go Beyond Necessities
Hundreds of packages containing rice, cooking oil, sugar, and other daily essentials were distributed. For the drivers, these packages represented more than just food—they were a sign that their hard work and presence are valued by the community.
Celebrating Independence Through Acts of Kindness
This event demonstrated that Independence Day can be celebrated not only through ceremonies and competitions, but also through meaningful acts of empathy. All parties agreed that initiatives like this should continue in the years to come, spreading warmth and solidarity throughout the community.
About the Organizers:
This event was a collaboration between UNIJI, Lions Club Jakarta Selatan Tulip, PT Raja Bearindo Aditama, Inlingua, and Jakarta International College (JIC), with full support from SIJI Group—making the celebration both impactful and memorable for everyone involved.

On July 11, 2025, members of JIC’s Entrepreneur Club had the exciting opportunity to visit DANA’s headquarters and meet some of the key people behind one of Indonesia’s top digital wallet platforms.
The visit started with a session by Mr. Yan Permana Agung Putra, Technology and Software Development Engineer Manager at DANA.

He also encouraged club members to look into future internship opportunities and shared some advice for those interested in tech careers.
The second speaker was Mr. Suwandi, Head of Merchant Strategy and Business Operations. He talked about how DANA builds its business strategies and stands out among other e-wallet platforms. He explained how the company uses AI to improve user experience and how great customer service is one of DANA’s strongest points. His session gave everyone a better idea of how strategy and good branding help make DANA one of the top choices in the market.
Last but not least, Mr. Zulfy Romadhony, Head of Fraud Management & Authorization, talked about the importance of risk management in the digital world. He explained the different types of fraud that can happen and how DANA works to prevent them. He also shared how DANA supports users when these things happen, showing that customer care is always a priority, especially during difficult situations.
After the talks, the club members were taken on a tour of DANA’s office. The workspace was open, flexible, and beautifully designed with touches of Indonesian culture and nature. There were also rest areas where employees could relax and recharge—a clear sign that DANA really cares about the well-being of its team.
The visit was more than just a company tour—it was an inspiring experience that gave everyone a closer look at how a tech company runs from the inside.
Huge thanks to the DANA team for welcoming us and taking the time to share their stories. We hope this visit inspires our club members in their future career and entrepreneurial journeys.
