SEMERAK MAWADDAH 2009

On 21^ST February 2009, we organised an ice-breaking program as the opening event for our program (Semerak Mawaddah2009) located at Ulu Chepor(recreation area), Chemor, Perak. It is about fifty kilometres from Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). The place is known as recreational site for people who prefer nature environment. Our targeted participants are orphans from Yayasan An-Nur Maisarah which are the continuous for past event last year. The orphanage was managed by Dr. Fazillah Nordin.

Semerak Mawaddah is the continuation of the previous event that has been held last semester. For this upcoming event, our aim is to focus on the welfare of the orphanage house. Instead of going to school, in daily life they can also working on something that will generate their money income. As the first step towards realizations, we decide to organize a program with collaboration from Jabatan Pertanian Perak to build a plant nursery. In this program, our aim is to give guidance on how to plant a tree and to take care of it as well and they will be given a conduct by the representative of Jabatan Pertanian. In the future, they can sell their plant product to the consumer and thus, will generate their money income. The first phase of this program is to accumulate contribution from people around the UTP vicinity and the outsider as well. The contribution can be money, school clothes, book or any suitable materials. Throughout this event, student who get involve can also gain new knowledge about planting a tree, in another words, built up a plant nursery. Next, we decide to organize ‘Mentor-Mantee’ session to the UPSR, PMR and SPM candidates separately which is schedule during the month of April. In this program, our aim is to share with them a proper way to study and give a better understanding on their weakest subject. This will ease them in finishing their homework and gain new information on effective study format. Besides, by having this program, we can show an outstanding character possess by UTP that can be a good example to them.
