Bey explained that apart from serving authentic Indonesian coffee, the coffee kiosk that Jokowi and the minister stopped at also provided free coffee to raise funds for disaster victims in Palu, Donggala and surrounding areas.
“This means that by enjoying the free coffee, you are indirectly helping to collect donations for earthquake victims in Central Sulawesi,” said Bey.
