Solopos.com, SOLO– Dozens of young members of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation (JAI) Solo carried out a movement to clean up trash in the South Alun-alun , Solo, Sunday (27/8/2023) morning. They managed to collect 13 trash bags for one hour.
They cleaned up the trash after performing the morning prayers and participating in a study at the Suryapuran complex, Baluwarti Village, Pasar Kliwon District, Solo. Dozens of people spread out to the South Alun-alun area at 06.00 WIB.
The majority of the collected waste is used food and drink waste, such as plastic waste, straws, cigarette butts, and skewers. There is also trash in the form of nails and banners.
They collect used food and drink waste so that it can be collected by cleaning staff who usually dispose of waste at the Putri Cempo Final Disposal Site (TPA). Meanwhile, one plastic bag of nails is stored for use.
JAI Solo Spiritual Advisor/Mubaligh, Muhaimin Khoirul Amin, explained that as many as 54 youths from various regions, including Semarang, Karanganyar, and Jogja have gathered in Solo since Friday (25/8/2023).
The youths joined the Khuddamul Ahmadiyya Council which is an Ahmadiyya youth association. They hold regular meetings with various positive activities, including competition games and group discussion forums (FGD).
The forum discussed various matters related to spirituality; efforts to contribute to the nation and state; collaborate with JAI; blessings; and clean up trash. They positively welcomed the South Square revitalization plan.
Muhaimin said that JAI is used to carrying out garbage clean-up movements to help cleaners at certain moments, such as after a New Year’s party. The movement was initiated by Ahmadiyah youth in Jakarta around 2003.
“Young people saw a lot of garbage at Monas after the New Year’s celebration. Then came the idea of cleaning the field at Monas with the name Clean The City community. Clean The City is a social movement concerned with the environment under the auspices of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Council of Khuddamul,” he explained.
The Clean The City movement was joined by a number of administrators in various regions, including in the city of Solo. Usually the Ahmadiyya Congregation cleans up trash on Jl Slamet Riyadi, Alun-alun Selatan, and the Gladak area after the New Year’s party.
The Ahmadiyya Congregation in Solo coordinated with the Solo City Environment Agency (DLH) before starting the action. Usually they start to go out into the street around 03.00 WIB until 04.00 WIB. The Ahmadiyya congregation involved from children, youths, to adults.
“Officers in Solo usually work before dawn. So quickly clean it, “he said.
