UTAR FAM students with children from United Learning Centre (ULC)
UTAR students from various faculties completed their 16-hour Community
Project Co-Cu unit in various non-profit organizations (NGO) and shelter
homes throughout the October trimester in 2015. The activities carried out
by the students were an initiative to create awareness towards helping the
underprivileged in our society.
This community project served as a stepping-stone to prepare students for
work and service and to cultivate a lifelong habit of giving back to society
in a way that matters to them. For many students, it was their first time as
a volunteer.
FAM student Ho Kah Fong, shared that it was exciting to be a part of the
children's life-changing moment.
Chong Pui Ling said, “It was a great experience conducting activities with
the children. They are so welcoming and receptive. We hope that our
contributions were meanigful to them.”
Students also extended their care and time to helping refugee children in
the United Learning Centre (ULC), Bukit Bintang, and Global Gospel Mission
(GGM), Puncak Jalil through giving them tuition classes and conducting fun
learning activities.
Other beneficiaries of this project were Rumah Hope, Petaling Jaya; Home for
the Angels, Sungai Long; Persatuan Kanak Kanak Istimewa, Cheras; Kiwanis,
Petaling Jaya; and Lovely Disabled Home, Petaling Jaya.
This project is organized by the Department of Soft Skills Competency
(DSSC), Sungai Long Campus, under the supervision of lecturers, Chan Siew
Fen, Fatimah Abdul Halim Koh and Nurulain Mohamed Salihuddin.
