Abstract

In 2024, community service was done at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School in Thailand from September to August. This program of community service is to increase the safe use of medication and provide an education on a healthy lifestyle at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya School. We will be educating on medication errors, correct use, and side effects of medications with this program. The program combines educational components with community actions to create a school environment where children feel safe and encourages life-long behaviours leading to students' well-being. It supports the overarching goals of improving public health and underscores the importance of early education to influence a healthier generation in the future. This method of determining what is wrong, discussing with the partners, and then launching it will be accompanied by counselling, rehearsal, and knowledge calculated by using pre-test and post-test.  The mean score for the pre-test was 65.20 after the intervention, the mean score on the post-test rose substantially to 95.20. This community service was carried out at Sangkhom Islam Wittaya Elementary School for students in grade 6. The number of students in grade 6 is 25. Community service was actually one of the program areas that the successful programs had a high success rate in, meaning it did what it set out to do. This will require analysis of some specific pre- and post-test data to judge how effective this program is.
