In his speech, the Chairperman of the 2017 PKKMB (Student Orientation) Committee of Faculty of Letters Unwar stated that the KERBAKSOS (Social Service) activity was one of a series of activities to introduce campus life to the Faculty of Letters. The purpose of this activity is to foster student awareness of the environment and increase a sense of spirituality in belief. The Dean of Faculty of Letters Unwar, during this event, thanked the Bendesa Adat of Tanjung Bungkak Village for accepting the arrival of the students of Faculty of Letters Unwar in social service activities. In addition to activities on campus, PKKMB committee of Faculty of Letters Unwar also encourage new students to get to know the environment outside of campus. This program is very good because it involves students in "ngayah" (social service) activities even though in a small scope. On that occasion, the Dean of Faculty of Letters motivated the students to improve their character education. Being a student requires having education not only in the field of knowledge, but also education in the field of character. Knowledgeable, intelligent, and having a good character are the things that are hoped and expected by the country, in order to become the future successors of the nation and state. Character strengthening can be carried out in various ways, one of which is social service work. In his speech, the Bendesa Adat of Tanjung Bungkak expressed his gratitude for the involvement of students in the "ngayah" activity at Tanjung Bungkak Temple. He also thanked the Dean of Faculty of Letters Unwar for reminding the students about the importance of relationships with the environment outside of campus. In the history of the establishment of Unwar, it is inseparable from the relationship with the Tanjung Bungkak Traditional Village. Therefore, it is hoped that Unwar's relationship with the Tanjung Bungkak Traditional Village environment will always be well established. This activity is one of the implementations of the teachings of Tri Hita Karana, namely creating a harmonious relationship with God, the environment, and the community in the surrounding environment. KERBAKSOS of Faculty of Letters Unwar was attended by all PKKMB participants of Faculty of Letters Unwar. KERBAKSOS was held at Tanjung Bungkak Temple, and for some non-Hindu students and those who were unable to attend, they carried out KERBAKSOS at Unwar. The event began with a joint prayer, followed by a clean-up action at the Tanjung Bungkak Temple environment, and the handing over of trees by the Dean of Faculty of Letters Unwar to the Bendesa Adat of Tanjung Bungkak Village.
