On April 30, 2021 the Students Association of International Law (SAIL) Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) and the Juridical Council of International Program (JCI) held a joint sharing event in a blessed month, the event was held at the Bina Siwi Orphanage located at Jl. Pajangan-Bantul Jetis, Sendongsari, Pajangan Bantul District. The event took place quickly and adhered to health protocols, all participants wore masks and kept their distance, attended by 14 student representatives.

From the opening of the fundraiser on April 25, 2021, to April 30, 2021, funds amounting to Rp. 4,767,000.00. This fund is a donation from lecturers, alumni, students, parents of students, and the general public. The funds are used to buy 52 boxes of rice for breaking the fast, light snacks, 150 masks, and cash assistance of Rp. 3,601,000.00 to the Bina Siwi Orphanage.

The event was opened with remarks from the management of the Bina Siwi orphanage. According to the manager, there are 38 children ranging in age from 10 to 35 years who live at the Bina Siwi Orphanage. “All the children here are children with special needs, even though they have special needs, but they have works and talents as evidenced by them presenting one piece of music,” said Nurlela, manager of the Bina Siwi Orphanage.

At the handover ceremony, the Secretary of the FH UII International Program, who was also the Supervisor of the SAIL UKM, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, SH. MH. LL.M., Ph.D. asked by the board of the Bina Siwi Orphanage to give greetings and motivation to the foster children. In his speech, Dodik Setiawan said that since childhood he also had special needs, that his left ear could not hear. But with the motivation from teachers and his parents, he was able to achieve achievements in Europe by getting the summa cum laude predicate in the doctoral program from the University of Debrecen, Hungary. Based on his inspiring story, he advised the foster children and students to continue their enthusiasm for learning even in the midst of a pandemic time.

President of SAIL, Arief Hasanul Husnan Nasution said that the handover ceremony of the funding to the Bina Siwi Orphanage was a collaboration activity between SAIL, JCI, and the International Program Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law UII. “From the deliberations and consensus of our friends, both from us at SAIL and friends from JCI,” said Arief. The Bina Siwi Orphanage was chosen as the place to distribute the donations for no reason. The Bina Siwi Orphanage is a place to study and live for orphans with disabilities and special needs. The Bina Siwi Orphanage was founded in 1989 and currently accommodates 38 children with disabilities and special needs. “Apart from that, we assume that the orphanage is less affordable, so it is a little seldom touched by assistance, given the distance that is quite far from the city of Jogja”, added Arief.

General Chief of JCI, Akhiruddin Syahputra Lubis, said that events like this should be a routine agenda as much as possible. “It must be maintained and sustainable, not just this year because the event provides lessons and lessons to students that there are still many of our brothers who are less fortunate than us students who have more opportunities”. Lubis also said that this event was an event to “cultivate a caring spirit and student social sensitivity”. According to him, not all students have a spirit of caring and social sensitivity, therefore they must frequently be nurtured with events like this, especially since this is the month of Ramadan as much as possible, we must share.

JCI and SAIL are committed make activity that bring benefit to society. “We would like to thank all of the donors, hopefully the good deeds given will be rewarded by Allah SWT, Allahumma Aamiin,” said Arief.
