University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) visited Caruban and shared the joy through the Mobil Kamis Membaca (KaCa) activity on Wednesday (13/7). Not only providing reading material and inviting children to play games, but UMM also provided free medical treatment, health consultation, and mass circumcision for Caruban residents in collaboration with the UMM General Hospital.
One of the KaCa Mobil UMM team, Maharina Novi, M.Ikom. said that this event was a routine agenda for the White Campus. Previously, they also visited various cities and regencies such as Blitar, Kediri, Trenggalek, and others. It is also an effort to educate and entertain children.
"There are almost 600 books that can be read—starting from fairy tales, picture stories, novels, and even Islam. We hope that this KaCa car's arrival can increase the interest and reading literacy of the younger generation. The prepared games also aim to build mentality and foster cooperation," he said.
