TMMD members provide national insight for Tapin children

Rantau, S Kalimantan (ANTARA) - Members of the 111th TMMD Task Force in Tapin provide national insight for children during their spare time from work.

Private Chief (Praka) Suranto said that the insight given to children in the TMMD operating area was related to basic things that Indonesian citizens need to know.

"There are questions and answers, for example, who is the president of Indonesia, what is the symbol of the Indonesia state. There are also small competitions, such as memorizing Pancasila, singing the national anthem, and others," he said.

The national insight given by this simple approach is expected to instill, grow, and strengthen love for the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Tara (11), a girl in the village, said that she enjoyed learning with TNI soldiers because face-to-face learning at school had stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I enjoy playing with the soldiers. After playing, we continue to learn. We were asked who was the president. We also told to memorize Pancasila," she said.

The 111th TMMD which began on 15 June and will end on July 14 was marked by the signing and submission of MoU by Tapin Regent to the Commander of 1010/Tapin Military Command (Dandim).

"We hope that the presence of members who carry out TMMD, in addition to building village through infrastructure, also to give an impression for the local community," said Dandim Lt. Col. Inf. Andi Sinrang.

The 101/Antasari (Provincial) Military Chief of Staff (Kasrem) Col. Inf. M. Sujono hopes that the TMMD with the theme "TMMD as a Synergy to Build the Country" can improve the community's economy.
