Muhammadiyah University of Malang Riders (MuRid) never stops spreading kindness and immediately held a social service activity. The Muhammadiyah University of Malang (UMM) motorbike community traveled more than 100 kilometers to reach three locations affected by the Semeru hot cloud on April 17, 2023. Namely Sumberwuluh village Candipuro District, Supiturang village and Pronojiwo village, Pronojiwo District.

The MuRid that set off was divided into two teams. One team rides a motorcycle, while the other team uses a car to transport various social assistance. It took 3.5 hours from the departure point, UMM White Campus.

MuRid motorcycle club coordinator, Zakarija Ahmad, said that social service is a routine agenda carried out by his group. This year, MuRid was given the mandate by Baitul Maal Khatulistiwa to distribute 100 Eid gifts to the residents. Even by distributing holiday allowances to Quran teachers in the regencies, especially to those who were affected by the hot cloud of Mount Semeru.

"We also provide assistance to students of the Pronojiwo branch of Tapak Suci who come from underprivileged families. Hopefully what we provide can give more benefits," he explained.

"Especially during the holidays, the needs of residents usually increase. So this Eid gift can help lighten things up a bit," he concluded. (put/wil)
