Repaying Gratitude Ala Otis Hahijary, Helping Contribute Hundreds of Millions of Funds for Mosque Construction

Kapanlagi.com - Vice President of ANTV, Otis Hahijary is known as a very successful person who lives in luxury. However, in reality, he never forgets to lend a hand to those in need. Since the beginning of this year, it is known that Otis has carried out many social actions to orphanages.

The latest, Otis visited and donated to the construction of a mosque in Cikupa, Tangerang. One of the mosque construction committee members is a police officer at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, who often sees and helps Otis when he travels abroad. With boldness, the airport police officer named Arif Handoyo presented his mosque construction proposal when he met Otis at the airport a month ago.

"As an airport police officer, I often meet important people, artists, officials in the special lane. Coincidentally, 3 years ago, Raffi Ahmad introduced me to Mr. Otis. Since then, I have been helping Mr. Otis when he is at the airport. Also, I follow his Instagram. I see that he is very sociable and likes to help. I thought maybe he could help fund the construction of our mosque," said Brigadier Arif Haryono.

Otis has indeed been traveling quite frequently to other cities and abroad in the past few months. Starting from December 2019, he has flown to Singapore, France, and Japan, either for vacation or medical purposes. And amidst Otis' routine of arranging his trips abroad, Arif dared to present the proposal for the construction of the mosque.

"I did hear about this construction project from Mr. Arif. I travel every year, always to Paris or other places. Mr. Arif is the one who helps me when I'm at the airport. One day, he came to me and gave me the proposal, saying that they need Rp 105 million for the construction of the mosque," said Otis.

"I don't want to ask for donations on the streets, using those boxes. I want to find donors in a different way. Alhamdulillah, a month later, I received a response from the employees at ANTV that Mr. Otis is willing to help," Arif continued.

2. Will Invite Other Friends to Donate

When giving symbolic assistance for development funds, Otis also gives encouragement to the development committee. Not stopping there, he will also raise funds from other friends to be donated to those in need.

"No matter what you want to build or create, don't be afraid. Everything starts with a dream. Everything must start with a dream. You have to dream big. If your intentions are good, God will definitely grant them. I will also ask my friends for help in giving donations," said Otis.

This donation is also done as an expression of gratitude for Otis Hahijary's mother's birthday on February 25th, as well as ANTV's birthday which falls on March 14th.
