Bandung, 24 February 2026 – In order to welcome the holy month of Ramadhan, Insan Bumi Mandiri (IBM) together with MAA International distributed food packages to 1,236 vulnerable families in Bandung. This distribution was carried out over four days, on 9-12 February 2026. Overall, this Ramadhan aid program was not only implemented in Bandung but in four other regions such as Lombok, Bima, Sikka and Yogyakarta, with a total distribution of 2,000 food aid packages.
The distributed food aid packages containing rice, flour, sugar, oil, canned sardines, corned beef and milk were packaged by volunteers before being distributed to the elderly, orphans, people with disabilities and underprivileged families. It is hoped that this basic food package can fulfill the basic kitchen needs of families in need throughout the month of Ramadan.
“This assistance is a gift from MAA and we prioritize it for the elderly, orphans, people with disabilities and underprivileged families so that in welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan this time it can provide benefits and help to those in need,” said Fajar Aji as the person in charge of the field in Bandung.
The distribution process is carried out using a calling system based on beneficiary categories, namely Orphan/Disability/Elderly (ODE) and OG for underprivileged families. A number of volunteers were involved in the data verification process and the direct distribution of packages. Since morning, many people have been present at the location, including elderly people who came alone and mothers who brought their children.
“I would like to express my deepest gratitude to MAA for providing assistance in the form of basic necessities to us because it is very useful, I hope MAA is successful and Allah will repay us many times over,” said Titin Fatimah, a beneficiary.
Throughout the activity, the atmosphere was warm and full of emotion. The distribution was accompanied by thanks expressed repeatedly by the beneficiaries, especially the elderly, as a form of gratitude.
Sri Martiningsih, an elderly beneficiary said with emotion, “Alhamdulillah, I am very grateful because the assistance provided by MAA can be a blessing for me ahead of this month of Ramadan. Thank you MAA and IBM, may you always be blessed. Thank you once again.”
Through collaboration with local partners, MAA hopes that the aid distributed will not only alleviate temporary food needs, but also provide a sense of calm and hope for the beneficiaries in welcoming Ramadan. It is hoped that this spirit of sharing can continue to be maintained and reach more families in need in the future.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
