Increasing Eco-Enzyme Soap Production Using Liquid Soap Mixer Machine in FEW
The Gitik Village Family Empowerment and Welfare (FEW) processes household waste into Eco-Enzyme and has successfully produced Eco-Enzyme soap under the brand name "Suzy" since 2022, initiated by the FEW team. The production of "Suzy" soap is carried out using relatively simple production equipment, as it does not yet have a special production machine for soap. The process of mixing and stirring the soap solution is carried out conventionally using a stirring stick and takes up to an hour for each production process, making the production process inefficient. A Solution is needed to increase the efficiency and production capacity of Eco-Enzyme soap by using a Liquid Soap Mixer machine. This method was carried out through location survey and discussion, socialization, counseling, training and mentoring, and also evaluation. The results of the activity showed that the used of liquid soap mixer can increase production and efficiency up to 4x at the same time, and produced better quality of soap. By this program, it was hoped that FEW partners in Gitik Village would be able to increase the efficiency and capacity of soap production for business sustainability.

The Identity of Young Chatolics and Their Involvement in Building The Church and The Nation
Modernity and its developments have a complex impact on the lives of young Catholics. This influence is ambivalent: on the one hand, it opens access to education, technology, and insights that enrich faith growth, but on the other, it raises challenges in the form of individualism, relativism, and a fast-paced lifestyle. In initial observations in 7 (seven) Catholic churches in the Namohalu Esiwa area of ​​the Sibolga Diocese, it was found that more than 35% of young Catholics were not actively involved in environmental activities, categorical groups, or Eucharistic celebrations and word worship. This situation indicates a crisis in their sense of identity as followers of Christ. Therefore, pastoral efforts are needed to reawaken their sense of Christian identity and affirm their calling to actively participate in church, community, and national life. Within this framework, the academic community of the Dian Mandala Gunungsitoli Pastoral College (STP) held a Community Service (PkM) activity focused on revitalizing young Catholics' awareness of their identity and encouraging them to participate in church, community, and national life.

Residents were trained to assemble simple water filters using gravel, sand, and activated carbon. Results demonstrated significant improvement in community understanding of clean water standards from 30% to 85%. The simple filter using sand and coral effectively reduced turbidity and eliminated metallic odors, making water suitable for sanitation needs. Direct demonstration methods facilitated low-cost replication by households. Regular maintenance through backwashing every 3-6 months is required depending on water turbidity levels
Peat Soil Improvement Education through Agricultural Lime and Rice Husk Ash Demonstration Plots in Kayu Aro Village
Peat soil is formed from the accumulation of plant residues that undergo incomplete decomposition, resulting in high organic matter content and distinctive soil characteristics. In Kayu Aro Village, highly acidic peat soil poses challenges for land utilization. This Community Service Program (KKN) aimed to improve community understanding of peat soil characteristics and simple soil improvement methods. The activities were conducted through community education and hands-on practice on demonstration plots measuring 5 × 5 meters and 10 × 10 meters, involving local residents. Soil improvement efforts included the application of neutralizing materials such as agricultural lime and rice husk ash, as well as the addition of organic fertilizers to enhance soil fertility. Field observations indicated that the peat soil was highly acidic, dark in color, and had low bearing capacity. After the improvement process, the soil became more stable and the intensity of acidic odor decreased. This program provided benefits to the community while enhancing students’ role in community engagement
Socialization and Education on Processing Plastic Waste into Paving Blocks
The program was motivated by the increasing volume of household plastic waste that is not accompanied by adequate sorting and management practices, leading to environmental pollution, clogged drainage systems, and a higher risk of flooding. The activity aimed to enhance community awareness and understanding of environmentally responsible plastic waste management, reduce the volume of plastic waste through conversion into value added products, and transfer practical skills for producing paving blocks using simple and affordable technology. The program employed an educational and experimental approach through interactive lectures, discussions, material presentations, and hands on demonstrations of the paving block production process. The paving blocks were produced in dimensions of 20 × 10 × 6 cm using a mixture composition of 30 percent plastic waste, 40 percent sand, and 30 percent oil. The production stages included waste collection, sorting, cleaning, drying, shredding, heating and melting of plastic, mixing with sand, molding, compaction, and subsequent cooling and soaking to accelerate hardening. The results indicated a positive response and high level of participation, as reflected by the attendance of approximately 30 participants from various age groups and their active engagement during discussions and practical sessions. The activity successfully improved community understanding of the environmental impacts of plastic waste and encouraged more proactive attitudes toward sustainable waste management. In addition, the program strengthened collaboration between community members, village authorities, and facilitators. Overall, this community based initiative demonstrates strong potential for replication at the household and small enterprise levels as part of an integrated strategy for reducing plastic waste through sustainable and productive utilization.
