People always attach the term 'guyub harmonious' side by side with 'village community'. Nothing wrong, really. And whether we realize it or not, one of the tapes that glues the village community together is cultural-religious identity. Based on this belief, on November 18 and November 23, 2021, the Imaji Sociopreneur team held an activity entitled 'Syiar ALP Village' in two different locations, namely Darussalam Mosque, Kedung Sumur Hamlet, Bagon Village, Puger District, and Rohmatulloh Mosque, Kebonsari Hamlet, Sabrang Village, Ambulu District.

The two activities also involved mosque administrators, tobacco farmers partnered with PT. Universal Tempu Rejo, and the general public. In total, nearly 500 people attended.

In addition to establishing communication and friendship through a religious approach, through this activity we also introduced three ALP Village programs initiated by Imaji Sociopreneur and PT. Universal Tempu Rejo since last July 2021, namely the Environmental Imaging, Sociopreneur Community, and Imaji Academy programs.

"The purpose of this activity," said Moch. Musta'Anul Khusni, director of Imaji Sociopreneur, "no other thing so that more people know, get involved, and receive benefits from the ALP Village program."

Furthermore, Anul explained that every development and assistance activity he has carried out so far has involved farmers and village communities as much as possible. In the context of Syiar ALP Village, for example, partner farmers are also involved in coordinating members and are responsible for consuming invitations. While the general public is involved in terms of concept formulation and technical activities.

“Ensuring the involvement of the community and farmers is indeed our orientation. That way, there will be a sense of shared responsibility for a number of challenges and being involved in solving them," he added.

Syiar ALP Village in Bagon Village invited K.H Zainul Wasik, the caretaker of the 'Kopi' At-Tanwir Islamic Boarding School as a lecturer. Meanwhile, Syiar ALP Village in Sabrang Village invited Gus Hamid, the caretaker of Al-Mubarok Islamic Boarding School Balung Lor.

The atmosphere of the two Syiar ALV Villages was truly solemn. Since late, the Imaji Sociopreneur team and the management of the Darussalam Bagon Mosque have been busy preparing activities. In the afternoon, one by one the partner farmers of PT. Universal Tempu Rejo started coming to send consumption activities. Although the activity was briefly stopped because of the rain, it did not reduce the solemnity at all.

Meanwhile, at the Syiar ALP Village at the Rohmatullah Mosque in Sabrang Village, enthusiasm was evident from the number of people who attended. Some people even hope that these activities can be carried out regularly. (*)
