This community service aims to increase the Structural Engineering Education (PTB) Study Program students’ awareness towards the community, especially children at the Darul Falah Orphanage. The activity started with a variety of exciting and interesting games. The games, among others, are marbles racing, guessing words, and painting. The children at the Darul Falah Orphanage looked very enthusiastic in playing the games.

After the game, the activity is followed by vegetable plantings, such as tomatoes, chilies, and eggplants.
