SOUTH TANGERANG CITY – Indomaret, together with Dancow, held another Posyandu Balita Indomaret activity at the Pondok Aren District Hall, South Tangerang City.
The event began with group exercises attended by Pondok Aren District officials, posyandu cadres, and local residents. This activity aims to build a healthy, strong, and intelligent next generation.
The Branch Manager of Indomaret Parung explained that toddler growth and development is very important. It is a golden period for forming the foundation of future health, intelligence, and social abilities.
“Early monitoring helps detect issues such as stunting or speech delays, ensuring children grow up healthy, intelligent, and resilient, and improves the quality of future generations,” he stated.
According to him, providing proper stimulation, nutrition, and environment for toddlers is crucial to maximize each child’s unique potential. Optimal growth and development is a primary indicator of future human resource quality.
“Together with Dancow, we are trying to realize a healthy and strong generation. One way is through the Indomaret Posyandu activities. This program is one form of our support for child development and for raising public awareness about the importance of health from an early age,” he said.
Encouraging Active Parental Involvement
He hopes this activity can become a sustainable educational forum while encouraging the active involvement of parents and the community in building a healthy and positive environment for children.
“We believe this good collaboration can have a real impact in creating a healthier, stronger, and more competitive future generation, contributing to the realization of Golden Indonesia 2045,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Secretary of Pondok Aren District appreciated the steps taken by Indomaret and Dancow to help create a healthy, strong, and intelligent generation.
“We thank Indomaret and Dancow for their concern and participation in improving the health of toddlers in our area. We hope this cooperation continues in the future and can touch upon other fields,” he said.
During the activity, Indomaret provided assistance in the form of four digital baby scales and 150 goodie bags given to all toddler participants. Attractive door prizes were also awarded to the winners of the healthy toddler competition.
