RE: SLC33-W3 || Our Surroundings: Let´s Talk About The News // Social and Cultural News
This Seumegleh tradition of cleaning mosques and places of worship before Ramadan or any major festival is truly a unique social initiative. The way the teachers and residents of Lhokseumawe are keeping this tradition alive in these busy and self-centered times is quite remarkable. In my opinion, there is no alternative to such cooperation to keep the foundation of any society strong. The challenge mentioned in particular in connecting the younger generation with tradition is very relevant. When the youth are currently moving away from their roots due to the influence of foreign culture, if they are not involved in this service work, these beautiful practices will soon become just a memory. The spontaneous participation of school teachers and female guardians and the message of social harmony being given through cleaning religious places deserve praise. Apart from protecting the environment, it is also playing a great role in reducing the distance between the people in the society. Best wishes for this competition. 😊
