Jakarta LH Agency Counseling and Public Relation Section Head, Yogi Ikhwan said, used cooking oil donation program was initiated by Tunasmuda Care (T-CARE) Foundation to provide funding for its social programs, including 20 orphan learning houses and scholarship for orphans.

"We support every collaboration with various institutions that concentrate on solving environmental issues," he asserted, Saturday (9/5).

In form of his support, jerry cans to collect used cooking oil will be placed in every rooms in LH Agency Office.

"Hopefully, employees in LH Agency can donate their used cooking oil from their houses and put it into the jerry cans thus later it can be processed into biodiesel," he conveyed.

"Not only in form of money, but with used cooking oil, we can help those in needs," he mentioned.
