Communities in Talise Island face various problems, indeed children which has an impact on the high level of school dropouts. Children after school must help the work of parents who generally work as traditional farmers, breeder, or fishermen. Other factors that influence the dropout rate are the learning process and infrastructure which can be said is below national standards. To help alleviate the problems, an activity called Kuliah Kerja Nyata – Pembelajaran Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (KKN-PPM) has been carried out to reduce the number of school dropouts. The real steps taken are to optimize the utilization of existing infrastructure of SMP Negeri 1 Likungan Barat which has a land area of about 2 hectares for livestock farming and revitalize the learning process in schools by applying learning media suitable for the situation and conditions. Through this KKN-PPM activity, college students from the educational study program have implemented media realia in the learning process. Realia media are assistive devices or real objects that are used as teaching materials that can be presented in classrooms or observed directly according to their location outside the classroom. This article will describe the effectiveness of using realia media in SMP Negeri 1 Likupang Barat.

A community service activity, Kuliah Kerja Nyata – Pembelajaran Pemberdayaan Masyarakat (KKN PPM) in Talise Village, Likupang Barat District, North Minahasa Regency, has been well implemented. The activities aim to provide education and assistance to the community through the application of intensified chicken livestock technology.

Dimembe Village has been famous for a long time as a centre for export quality papaya production. However, last few years papaya has papaya prices have decreased. Farmers choose not to pick papaya fruit in the garden because the cost of picking and loading is not comparable to the selling price. Priority problems experienced by most farmer groups in this village are: nursery, planting, fertilizing, and maintenance technology are still conventional; also variations in post-harvest product diversification are still lacking. To answer these problems, the community service program, Program Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Unggulan Perguruan Tinggi (PPMUPT) scheme has been carried out in 2019 (the first year, from a three year plan). The method of conducting the activities includes technology dissemination, training, application, and mentoring for papaya cultivation and diversification. The application of science and technology of cultivation includes, land management, seed and plant preparation, fertilizing, and maintaining, while diversification includes making fruit chips using a vacuum frying machine. The implementation of PPMUPT in the first year had a positive impact on the farming community in the form of increased knowledge, attitudes, and skills in the cultivation and diversification of fruit crops.
