GEMURUH - Riduan appeared touched and happy when PT Timah visited his home in Dusun III, Gemuruh Village, Kundur Barat District, Karimun Regency, on Tuesday (20/2/2024).
The PT Timah Operations Team in Kundur Region visited Riduan's home to deliver material assistance for repairing the damaged roof.
Riduan, who works as a casual laborer, recounted that his income only covers daily expenses. There are times when he returns home empty-handed because there are no jobs available.
"I am very happy and grateful for everything that PT Timah has provided for me and my family. My income is only enough for daily meals, so I cannot afford to repair the house," he shared.
He explained that many parts of his house were leaking, and the roof was almost collapsing due to rotten wood.
"When it rains, many parts of the house get wet, especially during windy nights, my family and I are not at ease because we are afraid the roof might suddenly collapse," he said.
He expressed his gratitude for the assistance from PT Timah, stating that this was not the first time they had helped them. Previously, they had also been assisted with the installation of an electricity meter.
"PT Timah had previously helped us with the installation of an electricity meter so that our house is no longer dark, and now they have provided assistance for roof repair. I feel fortunate to receive attention from the company," he said.
Meanwhile, the Head of Gemuruh Village, Ari Supriadi, appreciated PT Timah for their care and attention to the people in Gemuruh Village.
"We, the community, feel assisted by the presence of PT Timah in our area. The company's contribution can be felt directly by the community. Hopefully, in the future, PT Timah will continue to progress and develop so that the company's role in the community and the region can continue," he concluded. (*)
