Then the children are very enthusiastic to follow the program of learning illiteracy eradication with the spirit and diligent study to be able to read and write. Learning activities are also interspersed with play activities to be able to eliminate boredom in learning. In addition, students from student community service-community empowerment learning also tell and introduce some ideals and dreams to the children to be able to give encouragement to learn to them in living the future.
This illiteracy eradication program runs successfully with almost two months running. This is judged from some children who previously could not recognize letters and at the last meeting of the program in the afternoon class, they can already write and recognize letters and even string words.
