My Experience of KKN in Ganggangpanjang Village

By: Awwaluddin Abdul Q

Good morning/afternoon/evening social media friends. Introducing my name is Awwaluddin Abdul Q, a student at Narotama University in Surabaya, who among others chose Ganggangpanjang village as my real work lecture. Judging from the enthusiasm and optimism of the residents of Ganggangpanjang village, it makes me enthusiastic in carrying out real work lectures in the village. 

The first experience in doing community service activities placed me as a student in real-world situations that were often different from my daily experiences on campus. It encourages me to develop a variety of skills, such as leadership, communication, problem-solving, and adaptability. Through direct interaction with communities, I learned to be more sensitive to social, economic, and cultural issues that they may not have faced before.

In this activity in Ganggangpanjang village, my friends and I and villagers work together in planning the progress of the village. And in every activity we are also assisted by Mr. Pandu who is one of the apparatus in the local village, from the beginning we came Mr. Pandu who prepared and helped direct us. Starting from houses, food, and infrastructure for our activities during KKN. Since the beginning, our activities have run well and smoothly, all of which cannot be separated from the cohesiveness of the authorities and villagers. 

Our activities are First to carry out counseling activities entitled Security Risks of Cyber Attacks on Social Media, Second to create a Company Profiles Website project for elementary schools, Third to carry out Event activities such as Tasyakuran and Healthy Roads in Luwung Hamlet and in Ganggangpanjang Village as Documentation and also help villagers carry out these activities, Fourth to create a 17an Competition program in Luwung Hamlet. The villagers also helped us in the event session.
