Sowing Change: TNI Soldiers Empower Yonggolawi Farmers in Inspiring Collaboration

PUNCAK - In a remarkable display of unity and support, the 323/Buaya Putih Kostrad Task Force of the Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) has turned a routine security patrol into a mission of hope and empowerment for farmers in Papua Tengah Province. On November 27, 2024, during their patrol in Yonggolawi Village, Gome District, the Soldiers brought smiles and solutions to local farmers striving to expand their agricultural efforts.

Led by First Lieutenant Yudho of the Mayuberi Post, the patrol team encountered farmers diligently working to cultivate vegetable plots on their land. Engaging with the community, the Soldiers learned of their challenges: a shortage of seeds to match the vast area they hoped to plant. Prepared for moments like these, the Soldiers shared vegetable seeds they carried and offered hands-on assistance in preparing the soil for farming.

The response from the Yonggolawi farmers was overwhelmingly positive. Grateful for the Soldiers’ timely intervention, they shared how this support reignited their enthusiasm for farming and bolstered their hopes for a more sustainable future.
