Last year, Unpad also offered 4 cows for qurbani on behalf of its employees of rank I and II. This annual event is expected to awaken the sense of togetherness among Unpad academic community. “We feel compelled to give both moral and spiritual guidance. It is a form of religious worship and therefore it is our obligation to offer a qurban,” said Sudarma.
One employee who received qurban support this year is Amar Sanusi, who works a housekeeping staff in Unpad rectorate building. “I am very grateful for it. With this, hopefully, I personally can improve in worship and also bring barakah for many people,” expressed Sanusi, gratefully.
The same thing was expressed by an academic staff of Unpad Faculty of Arts, who also received qurban support, Rahmat Sulaiman, “I’m very happy I can offer a qurban this year. I’m very grateful for this. Hopefully, more fellow employees can receive qurban support,” he said.
