Mingling in the community who are in the red zone of Covid-19 is a valuable experience for KSR PMI UPN Veterans Jakarta Unit. The community is also very enthusiastic about the additional assistance and education regarding Covid-19 which teaches them to be more careful in their activities in the midst of a pandemic and steps to take if they start to feel the symptoms of the virus.

The contribution of the KSR UPN Veterans Jakarta Unit as a volunteer is a manifestation of the principles of red cross, namely humanity and volunteerism. In addition, this activity is the implementation of the third point of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, namely community service. With this it is hoped that we can all maintain our own health and can remind each other to be careful in our activities. Let's fight Covid-19 and be today's young volunteers.
