The first day continued with outbound activities followed by breaks for prayer and dinner. In the evening, the activities resumed with a bonfire and a talent show presented by the participants before they rested for the night.
The second day began with early morning prayers, followed by preparations for the morning activities and breakfast. After breakfast, participants engaged in a community clean-up in the village and distributed basic necessities to local residents. This activity was done by walking to the village, where they were welcomed by the village head before the clean-up and distribution took place. Afterward, participants returned to the villa to rest, pray, eat, and brainstorm for the community service material planned for the third day. In the afternoon, participants played games against the organizing committee, and the night ended with a barbecue.
The third day began with worship and morning exercise before bathing and breakfast. Participants then traveled to the school by foot to conduct community service at MI TARBIYATUL ATHFAL. They taught basic computer operations to 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students. After completing their activities, participants returned to the villa to prepare for the journey home. They traveled back using three truck units to the campus, where they were dismissed to return to their respective homes.
The USAKTIF FOR SOCIETY event was a very positive and beneficial activity for participants. Besides strengthening the bonds of friendship among students, it also helped develop social skills and attitudes while broadening awareness related to community service. This event exemplifies the Computer Engineering Student Association’s commitment to supporting the surrounding community.
