‘Spreading The Love’ with children of Permata Al-Insyirah in Sungai Isap

A total of 19 Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) students took part in a programme called, ‘Spread the Love’ with orphans and children of Permata Al-Insyirah Orphanage in Sungai Isap, Kuantan that was held on April 13, 2019.

The programme was organised under the UQP 2071 co-curriculum subject (Section 1G of Event Management).

The objective was to motivate the children to be diligent in their studies as some of them would be sitting for the public examinations, Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 (PT3) this year.

Programme Director, Muhammad Shafiq Alamin Shafia’l said they were very excited to be given the opportunity to manage the programme with the children, helping them to gain confidence in getting good results and eventually, pursuing their studies in institutes of higher learning.

“The programme helps to instil the spirit of volunteerism among the university students as well as foster closer ties among the children at the orphanage,” he said.

Event management coach and Industry & Community Network Department (ICoN) Manager, Mohd Raizalhilmy Mohd Rais said the students would be evaluated from various aspects including on knowledge, innovation and creativity in solving problems and in applying all that they had learned in an actual situation.

“This course provides exposure and experience and thus, teach the students how to manage events especially if it involves external parties.

“It also helps to lift the spirit of the children at the orphanage and inject something different in their daily lives,” he said.
