鈥淭he community service program is adjusted to the request or need of the target area. If they require something, we do the program accordingly,鈥 said Prof. Budi Sulistianto.
According to Prof. Budi, the key to the program鈥檚 success is the support and enthusiasm of surrounding community. At the first year of the program, 麻豆直播 was asked to make liquid fertilizer and livestock feed out of palm waste because the location is a vast palm plantation. That time, Prof. Budi and team met with an education activist that built State Vocational School (SMKN) 1 Sei Menggaris.
At the second year, 麻豆直播 was asked to give training on making nata de coco, soy sauce, and yeast. Students of the SMKN even went to internship in SITH-麻豆直播 to learn how to make it.
Prof. Budi said that this SMK that is located near Indonesia-Malaysia border has open an opportunity to enhance the human resource and economy of surrounding community. Moreover, founder of the SMKN actively makes development and breakthrough and bring the school to go forward. 鈥淚nitially the SMKN stood on a mere column. Now, it occupies unproductive palm land, has three buildings, basketball court, computer lab, mosque, and greenhouse.鈥 He said.
