This community service program aimed to enhance the English vocabulary skills of children at the Sameri Orphanage for the Nation's Children in Medan Tuntungan. Collaborating with the Community Service Institute (LP2M) of Santo Thomas Catholic University, North Sumatra, this initiative sought to address the educational needs of underprivileged orphans. Recognizing the importance of English as a global lingua franca, the program focused on teaching vocabulary through engaging methods, including the use of pictorial media and interactive games. The study found that the children, despite their initial limited vocabulary, showed significant improvement and enthusiasm for learning English. The program not only expanded their vocabulary but also increased their motivation and participation in English lessons, thereby fostering a positive learning environment. This initiative illustrates the impact of community service in bridging educational gaps and empowering students through targeted language education.
