The proceeds of the bazaar were distributed to 18 orphanages in Riau. The aid was handed over directly by RGE Director, Anderson Tanoto. In addition to aid for the orphanages, RGE Group also rewarded nine small and medium business partners. One that attracted the Minister’s attention was Rumah Batik Andalan, which enables women from the local community to supplement their family income by producing batik.
