BOVEN DIGOEL – Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group has once again shown support for local vulnerable groups by donating food to St. Yosef Dormitory in Asiki Village, Jair District, Boven Digoel Regency, on Friday (8/21/2026).
Most of the residents are Indigenous, put there by parents who barely make ends meet. But what makes this situation even more heartbreaking is the absence of visits once the children enter the facility, said dormitory supervisor Sister Vianni. Many of these families no longer check up on their young ones or provide for them financially.
“Money constraints make sending kids to dormitories a practical option for households struggling to cover daily needs,” she added.
TSE Group’s basic food kits — assortments of rice, cooking oil, sugar, coffee, instant noodles, milk powder sachets, and other ingredients — will greatly help St. Yosef feed dozens of boarders.
“This food aid is very valuable, especially for the kids here [because] it [will] support their basic needs. We’re grateful that TSE Group has helped relieve our burden,” said Sister Vianni.

The kits were distributed by TSE Group’s General Manager Youngseok Song right at the dormitory. Daniel Sim Ayomi, another TSE Group official, called this initiative proof of the company’s commitment to being present for communities.
“It serves as a testament to our compassion for local vulnerable groups. We hope these kits will ease residents’ daily needs, especially in keeping themselves fed,” said Ayomi, the company’s general manager.
More than a place to live, St. Yosef Dormitory is part of community efforts that ensure local and indigenous children have the chance to learn, grow, and look toward the future with hope.
This donation is a Corporate Social Contribution (CSC) program, which demonstrates support for TSE Group’s immediate communities and stakeholders. Through CSC, the company strives to provide impactful assistance in places where it operates. (PR)
