Following improvement in the situation of COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia through the implementation vaccinations especially the 2nd and 3rd doses or boosters, the government has decided to relax public activity restrictions, and this year of 2022 for the first time after pandemic, government allows Eid homecoming known as “mudik”. COVID-19 pandemic has made Indonesians postpned their “mudik” traditions for almost three years already.
Government predicts that there are 85 million travelers who will return to their hometowns to celebrate Eid with their families. Of this number, 14 million of them are from the capital city of Greater Jakarta area alone. Almost half or 47% of the travelers will be on their own using private vehicles, including sedan, mini-van and even motorcy6ucle.
Rovers (age 16 to 20), Senior Rovers (age 21 to 26), and adult Scout members (leaders and trainers) are doing social works devoted for Ei3d al-Fitr to provide these Eid gifts for the travelers and their children because we want them to feel welcome and happy on Eid.
Any volunteer with any skills or any small amount of spare time would make a huge difference to the travelers, including accompanying police officers in directing traffic, helping the elderly when boarding train or buses, getting on ship or checking in the airports, and railway stations.
The assistance also covers accompaniment of family bringing many bags or children, giving first aid to accident victim, protection against criminal acts, ensure travelers to know their rights and get the help they need, and other assistances which relates to the Scout laws and promises, explained Mr. Budi Waseso, a retired Commissioner General of Police who is the Chief Commissioner of Indonesia Scout GERAKAN PRAMUKA.
The Scout volunteers are deployed in busy bus terminals, seaports, airports, or highway’s rest areas and get ready for assistance.
