Impacting the community does not always mean creating exponential growth, it can also mean bringing small and sustainable changes to improve people’s quality of life. Living in a developing country, we had a first-hand experience of seeing life in underprivileged communities. This experience expanded our desire to serve communities around us. However, due to the emergence of COVID-19 in Indonesia, most of the plans to contribute to our community were halted. Strict outbreak control measures, which restricted people’s mobility, prohibited visits to these underprivileged communities.
