Dikson Ibrahim Nusi, the head of Tontayuo village, expressed deep gratitude for his village being selected as a location for the Community Service Program (KKN) by Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) and Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG). Since June 27, 2023, the students from these universities have been actively involved in a variety of projects designed to benefit the local community.

Among the notable initiatives, the creation of a tourism master plan stands out as a significant contribution. This plan aims to develop the village’s tourism potential, providing a structured approach to attract visitors and boost the local economy (SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth). Additionally, the development of a village website is another critical project, offering a digital platform to showcase the village’s assets, disseminate information, and connect with a broader audience (SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).

The students have also undertaken the task of recording village potentials, an effort that involves documenting the unique resour

ces and strengths of Tontayuo. This initiative is crucial for identifying areas that can be leveraged for future development and support (SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities).

Safitri Dwi Lestari, a UGM student participating in the KKN program, shared her positive experience. She highlighted the warm reception from the community and the collaborative spirit that has defined their stay. The interaction with local residents has not only facilitated the implementation of their projects but also enriched the students’ learning experience by providing practical insights and fostering mutual

understanding (SDG 4: Quality Education).

The collaborative KKN program is scheduled to continue until August 9, 2023, encompassing a range of activities. These include education on early marriage, aimed at raising awareness about the implications and promoting informed decision-making among young people (SDG 5: Gender Equality). Environmental conservation projects are also a key focus, reflecting a commitment to sustainable practices and the preservation of natural resources (SDG 13: Climate Action and SDG 15: Life on Land).

This blend of educational outreach and practical projects underscores the program’s holistic approach, aiming not only to address immediate needs but also to lay a foundation for long-term community empowerment. The gratitude expressed by the village head, Dikson Ibrahim Nusi, is a testament to the positive impact of the KKN program, highlighting the potential for academic-community partnerships to drive meaningful change.
