This activity was held on Saturday, August 24 2024 at PMI East Jakarta, Cililitan Kramat Jati, and SD IT Al Muhajirin.

This program is an initiative of the Human Resources Development Division (PSDM) KSR PMI UNJ Unit for the 2023–2024 period, as a concrete form of student contribution in facing the increasingly real challenge of the climate crisis.
