By Old man, Week – For four days, Jombok Village KKN students took part in Posyandu activities held by Polindes. Every day they move from one hamlet to another, starting from Sidem Hamlet, Bakalan Hamlet, Gading Hamlet, to Kojan Hamlet.
At Posyandu various activities are carried out, from weighing, height measurement, check iodized salt, and giving vitamins to children over age 6 month. Weighing and measurements are carried out regularly to prevent stunting.’ Iodized salt is also not missing from the Posyandu agenda, Mothers are asked to bring salt from home and then check the iodine content.
Meanwhile, giving Vitamin A to children is to increase the nutritional value in the child's body. Vitamin A can also prevent measles and diarrhea, Prevent eye damage and blindness, and help the child's growth process.
The participation of KKN students in Posyandu activities was enthusiastically welcomed by both the Polindes themselves and the Jombok Village community.. The hope is that apart from getting a lot of knowledge, KKN students are also able to work together with the community to help overcome various health problems in Jombok Village, like 'stunting’ for example.
