This program is really beneficial for the Darmasiswa students. Besides giving Darmasiswa students a chance to involve in the community, this program have also given them a chance to practice and improve their Indonesian language and understand more about Indonesian custom and culture. The Darmasiswa students were also lucky because besides involving them in the schools’ activities, the schools also took them to Batik Home Industry, Gerabah home industry, and some tourism objects. When they came back to Jogja, they proudly showed Batik and Gerabah they made themselves.
