The iftar event took place at the Lagoon Garden Hall, starting with introducing hotel facilities in hotel tour to orphans. When they arrived, the children were invited to see the Golden Ballroom which is an iconic place where the presidential debates were held there. This was done so that the children would have the experience of seeing a large ballroom against its historical background.
After that they took part in the "Uncle Gery's Tales" (Dongeng Paman Gery) session before breaking their fast. "Uncle Gery's Tales" (Dongeng Paman Gery) is a variety of fairy tales for everyone, from fables, sci-fi and everyday themes. Stories that educate without being patronizing, great entertainment for the whole family. Uncle Gery himself is a children's storyteller with over 30 years of experience on radio, online and in the field. There have been many collaborators for Uncle Gery in writing and staging his stories, from Indonesian celebrities such as Cut Mini to the global children's show Sesame Street. The story "Uncle Gery's Tales" (Dongeng Paman Gery) is one of the top Indonesian children's podcasts and a regular on Spotify's Top 200 chart.
During the breaking of the fast, there will be recitations of the Al-Qur'an from the Al Furqon & Aisyiyah Foundation and Islamic chants from Bantu Musik.
Not only is the show the highlight, but the Executive Chef of The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta, Eric Kusnadi, has served a line of traditional food with a distinctive 'home' taste that is comfortable and familiar to all the guests' tongues. The chef also prepares children's favorite foods such as macaroni schotel, fried chicken, french fries, chicken nuggets, various kinds of fruits and puddings. Leguri also provided ice cream for children and all invited guests to enjoy. There are also 200 cups of modern iced coffee offered by Kopi Kumi along with lemongrass tea and passion fruit which will refresh your thirst.
Donations for orphans and unfortunate children are not only in the form of cash offerings from The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta, but also multipurpose gifts and snack packages from PT. Bantu Group Indonesia. The donation was given symbolically after the Maghrib prayer and dinner by representatives of the company owner and hotel management, PT. Bantu Group Indonesia and Uncle Gery. This event is part of the hotel's efforts to contribute socially to the community and sincere efforts to provide happiness to orphans who are invited during the holy month.
