Nourishing the Future: Habema Task Force Provides Free Nutritious Meals for Children in Papua Mountains

NDUGA - In a heartwarming effort to support government initiatives, the Infantry Battalion Task Force (Satgas Yonif) Raider 503/Mayangkara, under the HABEMA Operations Command, held a Free Nutritious Meal Program for children at Rimba School, Mumugu Village, Krepkuri District, Nduga, Papua Mountains Regency, on Sunday (02/02/2025). This initiative aligns with the RI-PNG Mobile Border Security Operation, currently being carried out in Central Papua’s Puncak Regency.

The free nutritious meal program, which has been successfully implemented in various regions of Indonesia, inspired the Yonif 503/Mayangkara Task Force to bring the same initiative to their assignment area in the highlands of Papua. Led by Second Lieutenant Inf Yudi Riandoko, Pasiter of the Yonif 503/Mayangkara Pos Batas Task Force, along with 17 personnel, the team provided a balanced and nutritious meal to local children.
