Abstract

This community service aims to increase knowledge and practice of washing hands with soap properly and correctly in kindergarten school children at Tursina Jaya Kindergarten.

All activity participants stated that this community service was very useful because it could broaden knowledge and the correct practice of washing hands with soap so that it would affect habits in daily life.
