In the case of Telunas, with government travel restrictions and orders of social distancing, suspending normal operations was a sad but necessary step. However, despite its current lack of revenue - and the unknowns of what the future holds - Telunas decided to put together care packages for all their staff to help support them in these tough times. That's over 150 staff and their families! ## A Humbling Experience I was blessed to be asked to help put together some of these care packages, working together with a team to fill bags with masks, soap, hand sanitizer, and other useful gifts to assist with the fight against this virus. It was a very humbling experience to work alongside those in management to do something meaningful for their employees - even though it was a significant sacrifice for the business. ## Selflessness in Action The care that I witnessed Telunas Resorts showing for its staff in the form of these care packages is inspiring. Even though it might not have made sense financially, Telunas put the welfare of its staff above the welfare of its finances in this selfless act of giving. Through this, Telunas is setting a prime example - not just for other companies, but for all of us - in how we should support our family, friends, and neighbors, especially in trying times. The loving generosity I witnessed while participating in the assembly of these care packages has been truly impactful. It showed me first-hand what true selflessness looks like. Most of the staff are from local fishing villages, and knowing that Telunas went out of its way to care for them, even during its most difficult period, says everything about the heart of this organization. ## More from the journal [![Corporate Social Responsibility at Telunas](/_next/image/?url=%2Fimages%2Fcommunity-group.jpg&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_3vPLdbgp6VCcS5MzNf7b4Ft8VDpp)](/corporate-social-responsibility/) March 2021 Community ### [Corporate Social Responsibility at Telunas](/corporate-social-responsibility/) From village scholarships to employee welfare programmes, Telunas Resorts is deeply committed to being a force for good in the Riau Islands community.
