Tangerang, July 3, 2026 – The Student Activity Unit (UKM) iCare Serpong Campus has carried out one of its activities, namely a visit to the Nursing Home with the theme “Holding Hearts: Creating Meaningful Connections and Lasting Memories” . This activity is aimed at the residents of the Nursing Home, and involves the administrators and members of iCare for the 2025/2026 period.

The event began with a prayer, followed by remarks from the Student Body representative and the event chair. The event then moved on to the main event, the Tree of Hope, where the grandmas and grandpas were invited to create hearts and rabbits out of origami paper, each containing their own hopes.

The artworks were then individually affixed to a tree-shaped canvas, and decorated with grandma and grandpa’s fingerprints using colorful paint. Throughout the session, the atmosphere grew warmer as the grandmas and grandpas shared stories and experiences with the entire committee accompanying them.
