Ramadan always becomes a special moment to strengthen worship while fostering social awareness. This spirit was realized by the Boys’ and Girls’ Student Council of Cahaya Rancamaya Islamic Boarding School through various activities in the Campaign Ramadhan 2026 program held from March 1 to March 14, 2026.
This activity was organized by Cahaya Rancamaya Islamic Boarding School with the main implementers being the Boys’ and Girls’ Student Council of Cahaya Rancamaya, accompanied by the Boys’ Student Council Advisor, Mr. Arcci, and the Girls’ Student Council Advisor, Ms. Sri Intan. In addition, the activity was also supervised by the school Guidance team, namely Mr. Ucu and Ms. Nadya, and involved several teachers in its implementation.
Although the activities took place during exam week, this did not become an obstacle for the students to remain actively contributing to social and religious activities during the holy month of Ramadan.
Distribution of 225 Iftar Packages for the Surrounding Community
In the first week of Ramadan, the Cahaya Rancamaya Student Council held an activity to distribute iftar packages to the community around the school. Through the support of parents, guardians, teachers, and various parties, 225 iftar packages were successfully collected and then distributed to several mosques, prayer rooms, and communities around the school.
This activity became one form of students’ concern for the surrounding community, while also training them to share and experience happiness together in a month full of blessings.
Community Service: Sharing with Orphanages and Rumah Qur’an
In the second week, the activities continued with the Community Service program in the form of the distribution of basic food packages and social activities in several locations.
Boys’ Student Council Visit to Panti Asuhan Tuna Netra Ar Rosadiyyah
On March 12, 2026, the Boys’ Student Council distributed basic food packages to Panti Asuhan Tuna Netra Ar Rosadiyyah in Cigombong, Sukabumi. On that occasion, the students also carried out a program to collect used paper and books which will later be used as braille reading materials for the children at the orphanage. This activity not only became a form of material assistance, but also broadened students’ understanding of the importance of access to education for all groups, including people with disabilities.
Girls’ Student Council Activities at Rumah Qur’an Yayasan Al Falah Indonesia
Meanwhile, the Girls’ Student Council carried out a social activity at Rumah Qur’an Yayasan Al Falah Indonesia, Sentul Bogor, on March 7, 2026. In this activity, the female students led by the Girls’ Student Council President, Adia Prajna, held Fun Activities with the students of the Rumah Qur’an.
The activities included creative activities such as coloring and drawing DIY tote bags, which aimed to strengthen togetherness while fostering empathy and a sense of brotherhood between Cahaya Rancamaya IBS students and the students at the Rumah Qur’an. The event was then closed with the distribution of iftar to 30 students, which was enjoyed together with the foundation administrators.
Sharing Happiness: Shopping for Eid Clothes with Orphans and the Underprivileged
One of the most memorable activities in this year’s Campaign Ramadhan was the program of shopping for Eid clothes with orphans and the underprivileged. This activity was held at Matahari Ekalokasari, Bogor, through coordination with local village officials and Babinsa.
A total of 40 elementary and junior high school children from the area around Rancamaya were invited to experience the joy of welcoming Eid al-Fitr. Accompanied by members of the Boys’ and Girls’ Student Council, they walked around the shopping center to choose their favorite clothes.
Although it was carried out while fasting and feeling tired, all the fatigue seemed to disappear when seeing the happy smiles of the children who received new clothes for Eid.
Mabit and the Commemoration of Nuzulul Qur’an
In addition to social activities, the Campaign Ramadhan was also filled with spiritual development activities through Mabit (Malam Bina Iman dan Taqwa) which was held on March 6 and 7, 2026 for junior high and senior high school students separately.
This activity was the result of collaboration between the School Religious Department and the Student Council, represented by Mr. Hari together with the students. Various activities were carried out during Mabit, including:
Games and togetherness activities
Watching a Ramadan-themed film
Religious lectures in commemoration of Nuzulul Qur’an
Itikaf and completion of the recitation of the Qur’an
Through this activity, students not only deepened their religious understanding, but also strengthened ukhuwah and togetherness within the school environment.
Fostering Hablum Minallah and Hablum Minannas
Although the series of activities of Campaign Ramadhan Cahaya Rancamaya IBS 2026 took place in a relatively short time, namely during the busy exam week, this activity is expected to provide valuable experiences for the students.
Ramadan is not only a time to strengthen the relationship with Allah SWT (Hablum Minallah) through worship and fasting as stated in Surah Az-Zariyat verse 56, Allah SWT says which means:
“I did not create jinn and mankind except to worship Me.”
but also becomes a momentum to foster compassion, empathy, and care for fellow human beings (Hablum Minannas).
Through these various social and spiritual activities, the Cahaya Rancamaya IBS Student Council shows that the younger generation is not only capable of achieving academically, but also has social awareness and a strong spirit of sharing with the community.
