Eid Al-Adha‘celebration and sacrificial animals donation  this time feels different amid as the Covid-19 pandemic required everyone to follow health protocols. However, the condition did not limit PHI BDI and its subsidiaries to care and share with the surrounding communities, especially around the companies' work area.  Through the SHARING = CARING program, the sacrificial animal donation could be carried out safely and distributed to those in need.

Rizky Indrawan Nasution as the head of PHI BDI sacrificial committee said that the sacrificial animal distribution was a form of PHI and its subsidiaries care for the communities around the companies' work areas. This year's Eid Al-Adha, Rizky went on to say, was the right moment to strengthen solidarity in handling the global pandemic. He said that sacrificing animals could be a way to be closer to Allah to hope that the COVID-19 pandemic would end soon.

A strong collaboration between PHI BDI and PHI subsidiaries through the sacrificial animal donation could also maximize the company's budget.  Insha Allah (God Willing), PHI BDI and its subsidiaries could distribute more sacrificial animals to more people next year, and more workers within PHI and its subsidiaries that could participate in the animal sacrifice as the could facilitate everyone to do good and be closer to Allah.
