Real Work Lecture or what we often call KKN is a program or activity that students must go through before they graduate from college. KKN itself is a form of community service in the regions, usually located in the village to provide training and education to the village to be more advanced and creative.
To realize these activities to the community, these students are required to have a work program that is in accordance with the problems faced in the village. Sometimes this student is still confused about what work program is suitable to be applied to his KKN place. For this reason, in this article we will provide recommendations for work program ideas for KKN for you as a student. Take note of it to the end, yes.
1. Stunting Program
One of the programs for you students who will run KKN is the stunting program. Why stunting? Because stunting is a national problem faced by the Indonesian nation, especially the next generation of the nation. Stunting is a problem that affects toddlers. The impact is that children are short in stature compared to their peers and the child’s brain development decreases drastically. Not only that, children will experience nutritional and nutritional deficiencies even from the time they are in the first 1000 days of life.
The implementation of this stunting program in the KKN place can be used by students as a place to socialize on the dangers or impacts of stunting, especially on pregnant women, adolescents, and also the wider community. In addition, students can also conduct counseling to posyandu and provide education to pregnant women and mothers who have toddlers.
2. Free Measurement Program
For some people, taking body measurements such as weight and height is a common thing and may be done rarely every month. Body measurements are very useful to find out the ideal state of health of the body, especially in children under five. Because through body measurements, you can find out the condition of nutritional status, especially by monitoring stunting. With measurements of the child’s body through height, weight, and the size of the circumference of the upper arms and head that are accurate, the nutritional status of the child will be known whether it is ideal or not.
The idea of a program for you KKN students is to be able to take body measurements for free, especially body measurements for toddlers. With accurate measuring instruments such as stadiometers (height gauges), infantometer boards (body length gauges), upper arm and head circumference tapes (LILA), baby scales, adult scales, and growth mats, to infant rulers (baby body length gauges). Of course, this will attract parents to better understand the importance of monitoring the nutrition of toddlers through measurement.
3. Supplementary Feeding For Kids
Stunting is a condition of malnutrition and nutrition experienced during the first 1000 days of a toddler’s life. One of the causes is that the toddler lacks the nutrients and nutrients provided by the mother, or even the feeding from the mother the toddler is careless. For this reason, the government’s efforts in combating stunting are through supplementary feeding (PMT). This additional feeding is usually carried out in posyandu activities every month. Such as green bean porridge, milk pudding, vegetable chicken nuggets, chocolate balls, green vegetables, roulade, tofu, sausages, and other healthy foods.
That way, the KKN activity program for students is to help provide additional food for toddlers in posyandu activities. The additional food given can also be cooked by yourself with foodstuffs that are easily available without preservatives.
