"We are conducting a Community Partnership Program (PKM) at the UPTD Waste Disposal Site of the Bali Provincial Ministry of Environment and Forestry regarding the problems faced in this Office, especially regarding visits from Foreign Citizens who come to review or just visit the TPA. This makes it difficult for employees to communicate. "Therefore, our role here is to share knowledge in order to improve English and public speaking skills," he said. In addition, he said that before the community partnership program (PKM) was established, community service activities had been carried out previously. He hopes that this program can provide new understanding and knowledge related to English and Public Speaking for all levels of employees at the UPTD Waste Disposal Site of the Bali Provincial Environmental Office.

According to him, this activity to improve English and public speaking skills is very important. Especially in order to provide information to external stakeholders such as government policies regarding waste management in Bali Province. "I really appreciate this activity, Considering Bali as a Tourism Area, the problem of waste needs more attention. Moreover, we often get visits from international guests, if they are not able to communicate in English well, of course the information will not be conveyed well," he said. For that reason, he hopes that the Community Partnership Program activities can provide good and correct English language knowledge and pronunciation in public speaking.
