Singaraja- Commemorating Heroes’ Day, November 10, 2020, the Law and Citizenship Student Association (HMJ) at the Ganesha University of Education held a flower-laying activity at the Curastana Heroes Cemetery. In addition, social action is in the form of distributing masks to residents around Singaraja City. This activity continues to prioritize the Covid-19 prevention protocol.
The Head of the Departmental Student Association (HMJ), Kadek Diva Hendrayana, explained that the flower-laying activity was a form of appreciation for the services of the heroes who had fought hard to defend the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. Besides that, it is also to increase the sense of nationalism and patriotism of students. Meanwhile, specifically for the distribution of masks, is a sense of concern, especially for the millennial generation for others and to help make people aware of the importance of implementing health protocols for residents who continue to do outdoor activities during this pandemic. “Because there are still many people out there who are struggling to support their families, especially those from the lower middle class. And to minimize the spread of Covid-19, we are distributing masks so that people continue to comply with health protocols,” he said.
It is hoped that this activity can have a positive impact on all levels of society and can motivate the millennial generation to carry out positive activities in order to achieve mutual prosperity so that this Heroes’ Day can become more meaningful, even though it is filled in a different way from previous heroes. “But we can carry out other positive activities that will have a good impact on the people, nation, and state. We need to emulate the fighting spirit of the heroes,” he added.
Previously, HMJ Law and Citizenship also held RWP (Reading Writing Playing). This activity targets elementary schools and or orphanages. This form of community service program consists of social services including outreach, playing while learning, and handing over social assistance which was previously raised through donations and financial assistance from DIPA Undiksha Faculty of Law and Social Sciences.
This time, the activity targeted the Ananda Seva Dharma Orphanage, Sangsit Village, Buleleng Regency. This activity, which directly involved the orphans, raised the theme “Empowering Youth Against Drugs with National Insight (Empowering Youth to Fight Drugs with a National Insight). Through this theme, it is hoped that the orphanage children who are in their teens and are growing up will be able to understand the importance of nationalism in order to become young people for the next generation who are anti-drugs..
