#BecomingBetter: BCA Shares the Spirit of Book Sharing for Indonesia in Car Free Day

Jakarta, 26 March 2017 - With the commitment to instill interest in reading all across Indonesia, PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) introduces and encourages the public to participate in the “Books for Indonesia” movement on Car-Free Day, Jakarta, Sunday (3/26).

Deputy President Director of BCA Armand W. Hartono and Director of BCA Santoso attended the opening of socialization of “Books for Indonesia” movement. Contributing to the event, various activities were conducted, including zumba, BCA’s 60th anniversary flashmob, stand-up comedy, and Reporter Wannabe games. Additionally, a talk show was also held featuring the Reading Ambassador, presenter of “Kick Andy” Andy F. Noya and Giring Ganesha as a panel, and ended with the song “Arti Sahabat”, the official theme song of “Books for Indonesia” movement.

Books are windows to the world and reading books is a way to open the window to know more about the world we do not know before. “This is what underlies the Books for Indonesia movement that was initiated by BCA. We understand that to improve reading habit in Indonesia, it is necessary to first instill perception, interest and awareness among the younger generation of the benefits of reading books as window to the world and life inspiration,” said Armand.

Through this movement, BCA is inviting all sectors of Indonesian society to take part so that children can gain access to books to supplement their education. The public can directly access www.bukuuntukindonesia.com to join this movement, and then facilitated by Blibli.com, the public can choose the type of donation package. The donation will be converted into books and distributed to various areas in Indonesia. As a form of appreciation, BCA is giving a T-shirt of kindness for those who take part in this movement.

“Books are a source of knowledge and inspiration. By sharing books, we are opening up more opportunities for Indonesian children to have better knowledge. With BCA, let’s create a better change by taking part in #BukuUntukIndonesia movement,” Armand concluded.
