BANDUNG, unpas.ac.id – Universitas Pasundan dan UKM Korps Sukarela (KSR) PMI menerima penghargaan dari PMI Jawa Barat atas dukungan dan kerja sama dalam program “Duta Kemanusiaan” KOICA Goes to Campus, Jumat (9/9/2022).
Jawa Barat dipilih oleh Markas Pusat PMI sebagai penyelenggara program KOICA (Korean International Cooperation Agency) bersama Sumatra Barat, Bali, Kalimantan Timur, dan Sulawesi Selatan.
Di Jawa Barat, hanya empat perguruan tinggi yang ditunjuk menjadi tuan rumah KOICA Goes to Campus dan KOICA Safety at Home, yaitu Universitas Pasundan, Universitas Padjadjaran, IKOPIN, dan Telkom University.
As many as 30 Humanity Ambassadors selected on KOICA Goes to Campus program have already carried out KOICA Safety at Home in Desa Cibeureum, Kertasari Sub-District, Bandung District, on Monday, 26 June 2022.
KOICA Safety at Home targets five community units (Rukun Warga, RW) to be given counselling related to pandemics and endemics, household-scale fire prevention, and first aid through the HIRA (Hazard, Identification, and Risk Assessment) method.
Encouraging Students to be Main Motivator of Humanity Program
Rector of Unpas Prof. Dr. Ir. H. Eddy Jusuf Sp, M.Si., M.Kom., IPU. appreciated the achievement of KSR (and) Indonesian Red Cross (Palang Merah Indonesia, PMI) in succeeding humanity program and spreading benefits to the community.
“This is the result of your hard-work, people who are involved in KSR PMI Students’ Unit. We hope the unit keeps being main motivator that is prepared and willingly risking for everything, including helping on urgent matters,” he said.

Head of West Java PMI Disease Prevention and Control, Dr. Marion Siagian., drg., M. Epid. said that PMI needed partners to strengthen volunteers in the field, one of which was by involving the Humanity Ambassador.
Humanity Ambassadors, with various innovations and agile movements, are expected to be able to realize new programs and increase public knowledge about health.

PMI West Java, KSR PMI Unpas Unit, and the Humanity Ambassador will formulate a more appropriate program in the community, hopefully it can be implemented,” he said. (Reta)**
