In his emphasis on the TNI Soldiers, the Commander of 432 Task Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Zulfikar Akbar Helmi, conveyed the importance of the Task Forces' attention to the basic needs of the community around the Post. For this reason, the Yigi Post, led by First Lieutenant Gayuh Nanda Prayudin, has been observing developments in its area since its duties began.

Based on this attention, on that Saturday morning, 1LT Gayuh invited SD children around the Post to take part in additional lesson activities delivered directly by two representatives of the Yigi Inpres SD Teachers, Mr. Pius Ohoiwutun and Mr. Lukas Maruru.

Before the lesson began, 1LT Gayuh expressed his thanks for the response of the two teachers who were willing to attend and fulfill his invitation. Not to forget, 1LT Gayuh also expressed his gratitude for the enthusiasm of the children who flocked to the Yigi Post to take additional lessons. On that occasion, 1LT Gayuh also distributed several free school supplies to all the children present, including school bags, books, and stationery. After the lesson, a child studying, named Wipen Murib, said "Thank you, Om Tentara (Army Soldier), for giving us bags, books, and stationery. We are happy to be able to study at the Post 432 Kostrad. God bless Om-Om Tentara (Army Soldiers)."
