Indonesia is known as a plural society, reflected by the motto of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika which means Unity in Diversity. The diversity in Indonesia consists of diversity of ethnic groups, cultures, religions, races, and languages. Indonesian people also have a variety of choices in their lives, one of which is when choosing colors for residential and other buildings related to daily life. Pacific Paint as a pioneer of paint companies in Indonesia that presents a variety of paint products, wants to realize its commitment in providing the beauty of color for every community through the initiation of the organization of the Religious Festival and the revitalization program of Sirnarasa Islamic Boarding School.

“We see Sirnarasa Islamic Boarding School as a center for education and religious tourism in Ciamis, and have succeeded in producing hundreds of generations of Islamic and national figures who are not only armed with religious knowledge, but also general knowledge through formal educational institutions. Armed with the desire to help the nation’s next generation, we initiated the Religious Festival and the revitalization program for the first time organized by Pacific Paint with Sirnarasa Islamic Boarding School as a form of awareness and awareness of corporate social responsibility, “said Ricky Soesanto, Head of Marketing of Pacific Paint.
After fasting during Ramadan and celebrating Eid al-Fitr 1440 H, Pacific Paint held a Religious Festival in the Sirnarasa Islamic Boarding School for two days, 12-13 June 2019. The festivities of the Religious Festival began with an arts and cultural carnival by displaying various local wisdom such as Tasikmalaya’s typical food bazaar, handicrafts and agricultural products. The Religious Festival illustrates the diversity of traditional Islamic culture and community based art that is packaged in a modern way as an effort to innovate in conveying Islamic symbols.

Another activity initiated was the Sirnarasa Islamic Boarding School revitalization program. Pacific Paint did painting the male and female dormitory building, all classes used for Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School), making murals with Islamic-themed pictures, giving information boards about the Islamic order and direction boards for public facilities inside the Islamic Boarding School. The painting uses brilliant colors of Metrolite and Jatilux wall paints and Glotex (wood and iron paint) which are Pacific Paint’s superior products. Painting takes one month to spend more than 3,000 liters of paint.
