ANGELA KARTO is a housewife, a mother of three, and is the wife of Erwin Azizi, and hails from Indonesia. She is also well known for being a socialite, but during the pandemic, Angela decided to reach out to communities in need.
“Before Covid-19, my family and I contributed, we sponsored a ‘Rumah Tahfiz’ for Rohingya orphans. Back then, I donated funds to organisations and whatnot. When Covid-19 came, we were on lockdown,” said Angela.
During the first lockdown, her daily routine changed. Her three sons began to ask her a lot of questions about why they could not go to school or go out and play and her husband was stressed because he could not go to work.
