Adanya peningkatan minat wisatawan baik lokal maupun mancanegara terhadap desa wisata perlu dibarengi dengan adanya peningkatan sumber daya manusia dalam hal berkomunikasi, khususnya komunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa yang paling banyak digunakan sebagai penghubung antara wisatawan dengan para pelaku wisata. Masyarakat sebagai tuan rumah di desa wisata harus diperlengkapi dengan keampuan berbahasa Inggris yang baik.  Tujuan dari kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini adalah memberikan pelatihan untuk membantu kelompok sadar wisata (Pokdarwis) Desa Sukajadi di Kecamatan Tamansari Bogor dalam meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi Bahasa Inggris khusus untuk wisata.  Berdasarkan wawancara yang dilakukan sebelum program ini dimulai, masyarakat Desa Sukajadi secara keseluruhan masih belum memiliki kemampuan yang baik dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris untuk kepentingan wisata. Untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut salah satu solusi tercepat adalah melalui metode pelatihan atau kursus menggunakan Bahasa Inggris praktis, yakni dengan berlatih / praktek langsung keterampilan menggunakan bahasa Inggris dalam berinteraksi dengan tamu, menjelaskan potensi wisata alam atau pertanian, menjelaskan akomodasi, dan fasilitas pelengkap pariwisata. Secara umum berdasarkan analis hasil kuesioner yang diberikan kepada peserta pelatihan, tidak ada kendala maupun kesulitan yang dihadapi dalam mengikuti pelatihan ini, pokdarwis dan kepala desa merasa sangat terbantu dengan adanya pelatihan ini dan sebagian besar peserta dapat memahami semua materi yang telah diberikan dengan baik. Peserta juga menyadari akan pentingnya memperdalam kemampuan berbahasa Inggris terutama keterampilan berbicara (<em>speaking skill</em>).

The Covid-19 Pandemic has made economic conditions in Indonesia, including MSME players,<br />seriously worsened. The government has made many policies to ease the burden on MSMEs, one of<br />which is providing incentives in the field of taxation. There are still many MSME players who do not<br />take advantage of the incentives provided. The obstacles they face are the lack of socialization and<br />their ignorance of using these facilities. For this reason, the community service team of Institut Bisnis<br />dan Informatika Kwik Kian Gie collaborates with the OperBisnis organization to assist in introducing<br />simple accounting and utilizing tax incentives for MSMEs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The targets<br />in this activity are MSME entrepreneurs assisted by the non-profit organization OperBisnis, who<br />foster more than 50 UMKM entrepreneurs spread across Jabodetabek, Bandung, and Medan. The<br />solution for MSMEs that have not done bookkeeping is expected to use a single entry system by<br />recording cash receipts and payments so that they can take advantage of government tax incentives.

<em>Sexual harassment is still considered irrelevant to voice, let alone to fight for. People tend to put more concerns on family honor, and even consider sexual harassment as a shameful act and degrading their family’s name. Apart from at home, sexual harassment also often occurs in public places—public transportation, workplaces, schools, and other public facilities. Saling Jaga is a forum that voices concerns on sexual harassment that occurs in public spaces, and is the result of a collaboration amongst 3 undergraduate programs, (1) Law, (2) Communication Studies, and (3) Visual Communication Design, at President University. Saling Jaga forms a team that is hailed as Guardians. The purpose of this movement is to raise the awareness of everyone who witnesses sexual harassment in public places and has the courage to look after each other (bystander intervention) through activities in the form of socialization on Instagram social media, exhibition installations, and seminars to secondary schools in Kuningan.</em>
