SK Dato’ Harun 1 is a school situated in Petaling Jaya. There are urban poor learners, some who are orphans, who attend the school amongst the rich PJ community. These students have low confidence, lack English proficiency and communication skills as well as digital skills. Based on our interview with their teacher, Ustaz Faizul Razali, they struggle to share their opinions and thoughts due to their surroundings that do not provide them a safe space to speak English. They feel unmotivated and shy to speak when among their friends who are more eloquent. Due to these issues, they function a few levels below their peers when asked to engage in English, even though they have untapped potentials. Thus, Dr Adelina, our head of project, has created Pearl4PJ, a project that aims to help these students improve their second language acquisition, self confidence, and love for language by providing a safe space for them to acquire the language skills. The volunteers for the project are three B Ed TESL students of Universiti Malaya who are pedagogically trained in teaching and assisting second language learners.  Nearby, is a mosque with a nazir who is interested to assist with the education of these children. The mosque is Masjid Jumhuriyah, Petaling Jaya. The project was provided with a comfortable hall to conduct lessons. Learners explored the art of English language through readers’ theatre, puppetry, games, plays, storytelling and many more. Nevertheless, post pandemic, the volunteers realized that there is a need to add to the skills that were lacking among these urban poor learners. They were digitally illiterate and while learners around the nation worked on improving digital skills for online and hybrid learning, these poor learners are not able to function with basic digital skills.  To add to the necessary skills, the volunteer-teachers started creating activities that marry both English language and digital skills for these poor learners. They often struggle with using the projector that is provided in the mosque. They frequently had to ask the mosque supervisors to set up the projector which is extremely time-consuming and inefficient. In addition, the speaker is non-functional and volunteer-teachers had to use two devices at the same time to ensure the audio is audible. Moreover, when exposing learners to digital literacy, these learners had to share the teachers’ ipad and were unable to fully experience learning at its best. This is where the extended project comes in. Pearly Starfish is an extension of the Pearl4PJ Project, aiming to help these students’ learning needs by exposing them to digital literacy. We believe by helping the students to engage with digital technologies, we are able to provide quality education to the students while increasing their interest in learning English. Thus, having good tools to aid their learning is pertinent to achieve the targeted goals for the students.

Education should be made available {0 everyone. We 2 are a modest student- Jed initiative that aims to improve the usage of English amongst Malaysian students from less-fortunate backgrounds. By doing this, we sincerely hope to tackle the education divide between the urban and rural children of Malaysia. We realize the enormity of this task, but we believe that our goals are achievable through the relentless spirit of our committee members and facilitators. An equal chance at a good education opens doors for young people, and we see our movement as a tiny, but sure step in helping solve the wider problem of poverty plaguing our society. Our focus also lies on students from high-performing schools, and this, we believe, is necessary in tackling the problem at both extremes. We weicome all Malaysian university students studying locally or globally to join us. This is the reason why we are committed to organise 2 major programmes, Kalsom English Enrichment Programme and Kalsom Scholarship Workshop, which aim to address students from two different extreme ends. For more info, please visit www.projek-kalsom.org.We hope our effort will help to address the social gap in the future, as the task ahead is not an overnight change.

INTI IU Traditional Chinese Medicine Club’s mission is to provide the best care to the public through TCM treatment and education. We strive to benefit humanity through work in these two areas, while supporting the needed group of people in which we live and work. Charity care is only one component of TCM club’s charitable mission. Educating the next generation of health care professionals as well as helping those who are in poverty either in financial or health to decrease the burden of human disease is vital to TCM Club. The club constantly works with charitable organizations such as Tzu Chi and Remedic Healthcare Foundation (RHF) to provide basic medical health care for the poor and the destitute as well as educating them about ways to take care of their health.Our club believes strongly that it is a human right to receive adequate medical care and that everyone, regardless of their social status should have access to medical assistance. As a matter of human dignity, everyone is entitled to health care. To that end, healthcare should be considered an essential building block for a healthy community. Sadly to say that through our regular visits to different places, we still see that patients in the low income group do not have adequate healthcare.We often meet frail elderly and or bedridden patients who need financial support and help for medical attention. Meanwhile, despite the subsidy from the government, some patients are still not able to afford the balance due escalating medical costs. As a result, these would lead to deterioration of health and quality of life. Therefore, charitable care is crucial and we hope to be able to do so with a potential community.The reason I want to carry out this project is because I come from a Traditional Chinese family background which often uses herbs to cultivate health. When I am sick, my grandmother or mother normally will use some herbs or natural materials to relieve my sickness without going to clinic. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a kind of treatment or therapy that advocates the principle of preventative treatment which means it helps to prevent one from getting sick or prevent disease from moving to a critical stage. As I am come from East Malaysia and during my time the medical services in East Malaysia was not enough and thus families from there usually go to Chinese Herbs shop to buy some herbs which they will use to cure some minor sickness when medical services are scarce.To me, health should be the priority for human and it is a basic needs. Without health, ones will not feeling happy and couldn’t carry out their daily lifestyle as they always suffered in sicknesses. It is my belief that through providing medical education as well as treatment to the needy group, it allows them to take care of themselves. Hence, we are eager to grow from our experience from this event to help other communitiesTo ensure a long term care, I would divide my plans into three stages. Firstly, my team and I will continuously follow up the progression through local authorities to build a long term relationship with the community here and understand what they really need. Secondly, my club is still in the progression of discussion on the idea of “Mobile Clinic” helping us to reach those remote areas and offer our treatment more frequently. Thirdly, through collaboration with those medical associations and media, we can organize similar event more frequently through raising funds and publicize the local condition through media hoping to search for generous benefactors to ensure the continuity of the project.This is just a starting point of our club and our funds are insufficient to organize a big charity care event. So, we will first start at Banting which is near to my university as there are some villages where medical services are scarce. However, we will focus in one group of people or one particular place or village first and when the event is matured enough we may be able to duplicate this to another location.We will be able to expand our charity care throughout the places which lack medical services. Last but not least, we always believe that it is health is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Like it or not, in our society, there exists a segment of the population, which is essentially left out or not cared about. They are being excluded, trivialized and devalued to the fringe of the society which prevents them from any meaningful participation in society. These marginalized people are excluded from mainstream social, economy, cultural, or political life. Do any of us even think about them for a sec? Do they appear in our mind for a glimpse? Or we just completely forget about them and only care for those who hold big title and name.We realized this reality and came up with an idea of organizing a program for the sake of this group. We want to get to know them better, listen to their stories and experiences, their sorrow and sadness. They, just like us, deserved good things in life. With this realization, we would like to educate the public through a theatre performance entitled ‘I’m P+’ with the aim of reducing discrimination and prejudice of society to this group. Not only that, we willorganize an exhibition focusing on:People Living with HIV (PLHIV),Drug UserLesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT)HomelessWhy theatre? It has been known that theatre is a powerful weapon in raising awareness. When a play is perform by a local theatre group, for a local audience in its own language, it  has the ability to reach an audience member with a particular message that can have a lasting impact. Moreover, the actors are from the community itself, who has experienced the hardship and difficulties. This will make it easier to educate the society about the focused marginalized group.
