Saturday, November 23, 2025, RR (Regional Representative) Medan successfully held “BERAKSI – Bersama Aksi Bersih” at the Faculty of Agriculture and area of Library, University of Sumatera Utara (USU). The event was opened by the Social Division with the formation of a line and a prayer, followed by a speech from the Chair of VDMI RR Medan, Yani Mariyani, who emphasized the importance of consistency in maintaining the cleanliness of the campus environment. Alumni and grantees were divided into groups and provided with cleaning supplies such as masks, gloves, and trash bags. The cleanup activity took place until 11:45 AM around the USU Library, an area that is often crowded and requires special attention. All participants worked together enthusiastically to sweep and collect trash.

After cleaning, participants took a break with a word guessing game that increased their familiarity and enthusiasm. The event then continued with an introduction session between administrators, grantees, and two VDMI RR Medan alumni from USU, Dina Rahmadani and Nelson Haria, who provided motivation to remain active in VDMI activities. This creates bonding between alumni and grantees.

A total of 23 people attended this activity, consisting of 21 grantees and 2 alumni. The success of this activity was not only due to the community service, but also as a moment to strengthen solidarity and reinforce the VDMI RR Medan community. It is hoped that the BERAKSI activity will continue and have a positive impact on the environment and its members.
