Jakarta, August 20, 2022 – PT Agung Concern, one of Indonesia’s leading transportation providers, held a series of events to celebrate its 68th anniversary on July 20, 2022. With the theme “Rise Up, Go Higher,” the company’s mission is to improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia. To realize this desire, on August 20, 2022, Agung Concern donated 1,068 school bags simultaneously in 10 Indonesian cities.

This donation targets underprivileged elementary school children in Jakarta, Bekasi, Bandung, Surabaya, Pekanbaru, Jambi, Bengkulu, Batam, Bali, and Lombok.
