Considering that they targetted elementary school students, according to him, the educational and motivational activities were conducted interactively, casually, and cheerfully. The CSR team also concisely and comprehensibly explained the Company's profile and the green industry concept they used to the students.
He further said that the PTSG team was also accompanied by the representatives of the Beasiswa Prasejahtera Berprestasi or BEST (scholarship program) beneficiaries, consisting of college students who had been selected to study at their favored state universities in Indonesia. Their appearance was expected to inspire those primary school students to dream big and pursue those dreams.
