On Wednesday, December 14 2022, community empowerment activities carried out by the Hospitality and Tourism Study Program, Bunda Mulia University for Sekolah Rakyat Ancol Students carried the theme of Personal Hygiene and Grooming. The activity took place in the Sekolah Rakyat Ancol hall which was attended by 85 middle-level students.
It started with remarks speech from Mr. Bejo as a representative from the Sekolah Rakyat Ancol, and continued with the presentation of material. The need for personal hygiene does not look at age, because the causes of disease can multiply anywhere in anyone. Therefore, personal hygiene must be instilled from an early age so that children get used to doing it at home, school and at play until adulthood (Kusmiyati and Muhlis, 2019). The importance of maintaining personal hygiene aims to improve health status, maintain personal hygiene, improve personal hygiene, prevent disease, increase self-confidence and comfort (Irnawati and Widnyana, 2018). In addition, the Hospitality and Tourism Study Program shares the need for self-grooming for students to maintain their appearance when they are in a school environment or other environment. This appearance itself is related to ethics and etiquette for the environment that students will encounter in the future. Therefore it was felt important for the Hospitality and Tourism Study Program Team to be able to share with fellow students at Sekolah Rakyat Ancol in increasing understanding in Personal Hygiene and Grooming.
This activity was hosted by Miss Regina Dewi Hanifah, SST.Par., M.Par, Miss Stephanie Rosanto, BB., MBA, Miss Dessy Nathalia, SST.Par., M.Par with students namely Levi Febrianti Putri (19210220) and Jordan Martin (19200127). In collaboration with the Tourism Hospitality Study Program Student Association, several products to support the Personal Hygiene and Grooming movement were raised by HIMA to be donated and used by fellow students at Sekolah Rakyat Ancol. It is expected that students can immediately implement according to the material that has been given using the right materials and tools.
