Atmosphere grew even more vibrant during the subsequent session, where the Unpad Choir’s video was screened, and all attendees gathered in a heartfelt prayer. The program proceeded smoothly until five in the afternoon. It concluded with a group photo session and the distribution of food to all the participants.

The feeling of happiness and togetherness was felt during the implementation of this charity program. All the participants, both from Unpad Choir and from the orphanage, looked so happy.
