But there are conditions, the first is that residents must keep in touch with each other, the second is that residents do campaign 02, and the third is to set up campaign props and then film who does it the most and whoever does it wins Door price,” he said.
At the end of the video, Neni said, there was a moment where money was shared in the activity. Money is distributed while dancing together.
“Who dances the most excitingly at the end? gemoy If you know the language, you will get a salary of around 100 to 200,000 rupees. From then on we saw that we were ultimately inviting elements of society to come to an end together definitely accept it,” he said.
