Despite Elisabeth Hospital has not been able to provide surgery for hydrocephalus patients because complying with the safety protocols in the midst of Covid-19 pandemic, Wisma Kasih Bunda still holds fast to social activities to help others. Not only helping patients for their illness, their mental improvement and learning are also part of the social activities carried out by Wisma Kasih Bunda.
Coinciding with the 75th Indonesian Independence Day, Wisma Kasih Bunda invited children from the Bina Bunda Foundation.

The children were very happy to participate in a competition that was designed specifically for children with special needs.
On that occasion, Mrs. Anne Avantie as the supervisor of Wisma Kasih Bunda Foundation in front of the guardians said that Wisma Kasih Bunda received support from Bank Sampoerna through Tabungan Hati to reduce the cost of surgery and recovery for hydrocephalus and patients, including this activity as part of the support from Bank Sampoerna.
Mrs. Anne also advised that live as a nation must be broad-minded and must be tolerant of one another. Mutual respect and encourage each other. Especially for these special children, there is great enthusiasm for this event.
