week 1 - week 6 progress


Hi. So this entry is going to be about our Social Engagement Progress throughout week 1 to week 6. You may skip all the way to the Site Visit (March 8th,2020) part where it gets a little bit interesting . I said a little, so do not get your expectations too high 😌

February 24th, 2020
Our meeting for this course started with short presentations from each bureau on their work progress. After that's settled, everyone sat accordingly to their bureaus and discussed on each bureaus' responsibilities to make this project successful.

March 2nd, 2020
Each Head of Bureau presented their respective bureau work progress. Next, project director, Zamir gave some slight briefing about the site visit dated 8th of March.
On the other hand, Multimedia and Publicity Bureau created an Instagram account for the project (@bioinfoum_se) and a blog for us to update and share our activities and progress related to the Social Engagement Project.
The date of the project is suggested to be on 20th until 22nd April 2020. Location is yet to be known.

SITE VISIT ! It was a Sunday morning. Six of us, Zamir, Izzati , Kok Herng, Hafeez, Nazfaezah and I went to the location of the project to survey suitable locations for activities and also accommodation. Kinda like a family road trip in a minivan to the beach 🚐. Yes, the location will be at a beach and nearby villages. A classic place to carry out charity work. Cleaning up beaches, helping villagers etc.
We met the village chief and his secretary to arrange out activities as well as where they will take place. We also went to check out a hotel which accommodates up to 16 people per room.
And here we had a discussion with the hotel manager
This us having a small meeting with the
 chief and secretary
After all the serious business is done, we headed to the beach front to check out the beach ourselves and properly decide what activities are best done there . Here are more pictures of us,

more discussions......






Before heading back to UM, we had lunch together and got to know each other more.

March 9th , 2020
In a meeting with our instructor for this course, Dr. Arpah , it is confirmed that the date of the project is 17th to 19th April 2020. The project will be held in Kampung Sungai Sembilang, Jeram, Selangor. A beach cleaning event will be carried out in Remis Beach, situated near the mentioned village.
Project Director, Zamir, presented the programme tentative  and amendments were made based on Dr. Arpah's comments. To add, our team has decided to conduct a gotong-royong event where students will cook 'Bubur Lambuk' that will be distributed to the villagers.

April 27th, 2020 . Week 6, e-learning
Since Miss Corona has caused the whole world to turn upside down, classes are to be conducted online. Hence, the project is now cancelled 😞 and changed to a different method.
We will now have weekly meetings in via Google Meets. In this meeting, Dr. Arpah explained our new assignment to pass this course, which is Ways to Help Vulnerable Groups During The Global Pandemic. We were divided into five groups and are going to present the outcomes on Week 9.

To all my friends, i wish you good luck with the assignment, stay safe and do not inject disinfectant into your veins.

If you read this far, THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
 Tasha

SE-cond Meeting

Assalamualaikum and hellooo! Today at 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., is our second meeting for social engagement course. Dr was a little bit late because she had a meeting, so Zamir conducted our meeting while waiting for Dr Arpah. Honestly, before and during the meeting before Dr came, I felt like quite okay because I thought most of bureaus were progressing quite okay though I felt like quite slow including myself. Multimedia had already came out with logo designs, activities had already listed desired activities to be done, sponsorship had already listed out the potential companies; had acquired proposal slides template and official letter template, logistic is still pending because we haven't confirm place yet. And there you go, the crucial thing of the program yet the main issue not yet to be solved. "We haven't confirmed the place we wanted to go for our program." As a secretary, I contacted with chosen school's office (Sekolah Bimbingan Jalinan Kasih-SBJK) and th...

Site Visit to The Beach!

So yeah, as the title says, we went to the beach! (not only to the beach, of course) It was a Sunday morning, 8/3/2020 to be precise, a few of us were "privileged" enough to represent the group to carry out a site visit to Kampung Sungai Sembilang located in Jeram, Selangor. After around an hour drive, we managed not to get lost and reached the village safely. Met the head of the village (ketua kampung) and his secretary, spoke to them, discussed about the details and bla bla bla... you know the rest. Managed to settle stuffs thanks to them super helpful people. Went to scout some homestays afterwards, checked out the beach to see how dirty  clean it is and had a seaside lunch before we returned to UM. It was a pretty chill trip and I think that's about it for the moment, stay tuned for more and  sea yall next time! Thanks and regards, Kok
