Abstract

Poda Na Lima is a noble teaching of the Mandailing Batak culture that has served as a guideline for life since the days of the kingdom, covering educational, moral, and social values. This community service aims to increase public knowledge in applying Poda nalima. This activity uses a participatory model that involves community members such as village heads, community leaders, and the community. The implementation of the activity targets the community of Muara Tais 1 Village as its primary focus. The community service initiative is conducted in Muara Tais 1 Village, Angkola Muara Tais Sub-district. This type of community service involves health promotion through the provision of information and the installation of Poda Na Lima signage at five strategic locations within the village. The final outcome of this training activity is that the majority of the community now understands that upholding the values of Poda Nalima is crucial for oneself, one’s family, and the community. The implementation of Poda Na Lima in Muara Tais 1 Village is reflected in the community's concern for the social environment and their love for personal and environmental cleanliness. All participants in the activity stated that this community service was very beneficial as it enhanced their knowledge in applying Poda Na Lima in daily life.
