MERAUKE – Dozens of PT Berkat Cipta Abadi (BCA) employees were recently seen picking up and clearing litter from Kigorun Public Elementary (SDN Kigorun)’s grounds in Ulilin District, South Papua, alongside students in a show of support for the environment.
Kigorun was chosen for the cleanup due to the chance it provided to learn about environmental responsibility. BCA believes schools create a space for young learners to explore not only academic subjects, but also the world — including the ecosystems they live in.
“This initiative demonstrates our support [for the environment]. We want people to help protect their local ecosystems since they were in school, [and so] by involving children in cleanup projects, we can build the mindset that protecting nature is rewarding and enjoyable,” said Dian C. Silitubun, a BCA representative.
Kigorun’s principal, Ahmad Hanifan, said the activity would make a positive impact on his students.
“We hope that by doing this simple action, our kids can grow a greater love for the environment and do more to keep their learning spaces clean and lush,” Ahmad added during an interview on Friday (8/28/2026).

Aside from raising awareness, BCA made sure to take care of the students. As the event wrapped up, mung bean porridges were handed out to replenish their energy.
Grand gestures aren’t always needed for a business to prove its commitment to the planet. Sometimes, collecting trash works — both to support this and to drive habit change. And when people care, ecosystems thrive. (PR)
