The purpose of this community service activity is to establish a Community Learning House (RBK) to the illiterate community in Yabema village, Elelim District, Yalimo Regency, so that the community is able to read, write and count. The activity method consists of six stages, namely problem identification, planning process, projection, assessment, evaluation, and monitoring.
