Cooking oil is widely used by many Malaysian especially for restaurant operators, food manufacturers, and households. However, the used cooking oil, unfortunately, is being dumped into the drain and sewer, creating pollution. Even though there are organizations that collect the waste used cooking oil, most of the households did not have knowledge that used cooking oil can be recycled. Thus, instead of throwing it away, why not change it into something valuable? We come with an idea to change used cooking oil into organic dish soap. Nowadays, a lot of soap brands in the market use 100% chemical ingredients such as ammonia, sulfuric acid, sodium borate, etc., and the price is quite expensive. Therefore, in this project, by mixing the treated waste cooking oil (WCO) with some ingredients such as lemon water, coconut oil, and alkali salt, we believe that numbers of dish soap production can be increased; hence reducing the cost of production. This kind of idea can also provide job opportunities to the community of Nilai which is located near USIM. Most people, especially those who do not have a fixed income may be affected by this pandemic. Therefore, by learning how to make this product, it can also help them to increase their side income,as well as promoting a clean environment. Moreover, we also want to conduct an awareness campaign for the students about environmental protection. Schools have a responsibility towards future leaders - not just teaching them how to read and write, but also educating them about environmental awareness. In addition, we also want to discuss how to recycle the used oil to create a new product,  valuable knowledge related to 3R meaning, how to save energy in school or at home, about zero waste, and lots more will be disseminated. High school students are experiencing rising stress levels and lower engagement with learning since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,Kids feel that “they are more stressed than they were before the pandemic, they have more work, they are less engaged in school, and their relationships with teachers and other kids are strained. Therefore with this project, we can help them to decrease their stress and fill their time by doing something fun and beneficial. 

The main message carried out by Earth Day 2018 is “End Plastic Pollution”. Many types of plastic ultimately end up in our oceans - an estimated 12 million tones every year. In Malaysia, plastic is identified as a major pollutant. Inline to the Melaka’s slogan “MELAKA BERWIBAWA : PINTAR, HIJAU, BERSIH”, we propose a project called ECOGARD to transfer the knowledge to the schools in Melaka about the way to develop a vertical plant growing structure, that occupies less space and requires minimal maintenance. The vertical gardening structure serves to be: (1) a reference model vertical plantation for community, (2) an image to promote green recycling, (3) an alternative economical income generator, (4) a recreational facility in school, (5) a project to promote STEM education.ECOGARD is a project inspired by Verde Garden, which means Vertical Drip Ecological Garden. It was an idea that was gained from the students that participated in the exchange program to the De La Salle University – Dasmariñas (DLSU-D), Philippine from 3 to 16 NOVEMBER 2018. The students and lecturers were fascinated by (DLSU-D) vertical garden when they joined in the activity of making them and believe that they have huge potential. Ever since then the students came up with various ideas to evolve this idea to be better and to be done in MMU when they return. It is a garden built using plastic water bottles with simple modifications and creativity. It applies the concept of recycle, reuse, reduce, refuse and reform, which can be implemented for greening purposes as well as a wall decoration. An ECOGARD with 252 plastic bottles was built in MMU Melaka with each bottle in the garden frame will be able to hold one type of plant. ECOGARD can be built using 1.5L carbonated drink bottles, which can be easily found through recycling. Since the plastic bottles are non-biodegradable, this garden is built to sustain for a long period of time without decomposing, enabling it to have a higher life span. Furthermore, the soil used in the bottles can be made from composite soil and compost food waste.Building ECOGARD in a vertical position by implementing the vertical drip ecological method, it does not occupy a large space and requires only minimal maintenance. By building more of this garden, we can be a step closer to nature amidst the concrete buildings in the campus and schools.

The Zomi School is seeking a solution to improve the living condition of the children who live in the two level terrace house where the school is run. There are currently two tasks which they have requested looking into, as well as some minor tasks to evaluate after the two main tasks are completed. The project will require manpower, finance and resources which will be explained in detailed. With the completion of the project, the children who live and study there will have a safer and more conducive environment.

INTI International University Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Club was established in June 2012. The club aims to be able to provide health care to those who are not able to do so due to financial difficulties. In addition, we would also like to increase the personal health awareness and provide alternative health care knowledge among these people through TCMUp to now, charity care is one of the significance components of the club’s mission. In the previous years, the TCM club has constantly collaborated with external charity 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 teaching them to improve their health. We also had collaborated with China Medical University (CMU) for the charity treatment events.Our club strongly believes that everyone has the right to receive adequate medical care regardless of their social statusand should able to access 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, there are still have low-income groupswho do not receive adequate healthcare.We often meet frail elderly and 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 escalated medical costs. As a result, these would lead to deterioration of health and quality of lifeHealth is always above everything else because unhealthy people couldn’t carry out their daily life as usual. It is my belief that through providing medical education as well as treatment to the needy, this allows them to take care of themselves when medical assistance is not available. Hence, we are eager to serve the communities.The venue of this event will be in “Sekichan KHIND Company”. According to our survey, the communities in this area are mostly suffering from dampness syndrome such as Rheumatism. This is because due to their career mostly in Sekichan is regular contact with water such as fisherman, farmer. According to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a person with regular contact with water and wind attach, this kinds of situation will be easily develop dampness in their body, the dampness easily to attack and accumulate in joint, muscle. In the long term periods, it will become serious and leads to serious pain in joint and muscle. In medical term, we named it as “Rheumatism “or “Rheumatic disorder”.What is Rheumatism? Rheumatism or rheumatic disorder is a conditions causing chronic, often intermittent pain affecting the joints or connective tissue. This is also marked byinflammation and pain in the joints, muscles. The therapeutic interventions in such disorders is called rheumatology. This situation can be solved by using acupuncture technique.We have learned the theory and practical applications of acupuncture. Acupuncture is very efficient in treating people who are experiencing Rheumatology pain such as joint pain, lumbar sprain, knee pain, headache and others. If acupuncture is applied together with the Chinese medicine, it will accelerate the recovery of the patients’ Rheumatology pain syndrome.To ensure the care of this project will be divided into two stages:Stage 1, the team will identify the needs of the community.Patients with Rheumatolog pain syndromewho are unable to afford medical treatment will be selected for the program. Besides providing acupuncture treatment and prescribing medicine on the spot there will be booths set up to explain and teach the public on the methods to differentiate body constitution , as well as train the public to applyacu-point pressing and basic tuina techniquesto relieveRheumatologypain syndromes. Distribution of booklets regarding acu-point pressing and basic tuina techniques to the communities will be done.An information corner will be set up so that more people can get the information.At the same time, we will follow-up the condition of the particular patients, trace the level ofRheumatology pain after they practiced basic tuinatechnique. Consequently, tuina techniques training and Qi-Gong training will be carried out.Besides, we will provide basic knowledge regarding raw Chinese herbs. By teaching them to differentiate variety herbs with the flavor of herbs, they will be able to boil herbs according to their needs in order to improve their health.Stage 2, an analysis will be prepared to compare the scale ofRheumatology pain of the patients before and after practicing basic tuina techniques that taught by us. So that they will be able to cultivate and improve their health condition.In conclusion, we will expand our charity care throughout different places which lack of medical services and poor communities in the future. Besides that, it is also a pathway for them to know more about Traditional Chinese medicine. The charity event should be continued in order to create the awareness of health to the people as the saying goes, health is above the wealth.

After a roaring success of our project last year at USM, with the vital and gracious support from Khind Starfish Foundation, the 2nd year students from USM’s School of the Arts, under the tutelage of Dr. D. Muralitharan Pillai, this year during our July–Sept 2016 Semester Break, take the Children’s Theatrical production “The Day I Met The Prince” on tour. In our journey to reach and engage a larger group of society through the platform of theatre, our tour takes us to the Temple of Fine Arts Kuala Lumpur and Temple of Fine Arts Johor Bahru.Theatre, to us is twofold, it is a medium of communication, and serves as a platform of interaction between the actors and the audience. Therefore, in combining the life skills of drama with the actoraudience relationship, we aim to create a new holistic paradigm in engaging life skills to society, through the performers and the audience.Children’s theatre is an art form, which fulfils the creative needs of children, cultivating their interest in the arts and developing their life skills, while igniting the love for education in general through the aesthetics of the arts.We believe that by utilising the tools of drama in Children’s Theatre, which is essentially, a process of stimulating creativity, in engaging perceptions of the world and themselves. And most crucially, it acts as a scaffolding to stretch their creative imaginations in mapping a pathway to realise their dreams. We believe that we can, spark the imaginative process of creativity in a child. For when we, nurture creativity, we give birth to imagination, and when imagination blossoms, the fertile process of seeking knowledge is awakened. This in turn, we believe, in time, will move toward a world free from poverty.

Kuala Sepetang is a traditional fishing village in Perak, Malaysia. It is formerly known as Port Weld. The first railway line in Peninsular Malaysia was built up at Kuala Sepetang in 1885. It is mainly constituted by Chinese village (Kuala Sepetang town and Kampung Seberang) and Malay village (Kampung Menteri). Kuala Sepetang is a unique place and well-known for its mangrove forest. It occupied by various types of eco-species. The livelihood of villagers are mainly depends on forestry, fisheries, charcoal industry, agriculture and of course, eco-tourism. It’s inevitable that many youngsters have gone out to find better job opportunity outside Kuala Sepetang. It occur a similar situation as many other traditional towns that age population are aging. Yet, the exciting thing is the attractive environment has opened a new economic of scale for the villagers which is eco-tourism.The old generation has a little knowledge of the importance of perseverance of environment. They do not carry out the 3R which is recycle, reuse, and reduce. Yet, due to the limitation of municipal services, it is estimated that only 20% of residents connected to the waste management services provided by town counsel. Another 80% of residents have to take their very own initiative to manage their waste.  Not surprising, it has cause a huge challenge for local counsel and resident from the perspectives of environmentally and socially A large quantity amount of waste resources has been throw away to river way and seas. It has becomes a serious environmental issue for Kuala Sepetang. The precious mangrove forest could be damage by the long term waste disposal. The health of residents could be severe by polluted water sources.The unsettle waste resources has severe the damage level of flood in Kuala Sepetang. The rubbish has forming a resistance to the smooth flow of river way. When the raining is falling more than usual, those rivers way cannot perform its usual function. It has influenced the daily life of villagers significantly.Aside from that, those unsettle waste resources flow into the sea and affected the eco-system. The fisherman has noticed that the quantity of fish has dropped significantly especially cockle. There was a fear that mangrove forest will also get affected in future.As a result, it is time for us to begin and organize a waste separation campaign in Kuala Sepetang. Besides waiting for the implementation of water conservation policy by government, we would like to raise an activity that involves every residents of Kuala Sepetang to protect our environment. Everyone can contribute their effort by recycling their waste resources to reduce the effect of environmental issues.It takes time and effort to collect, separate and send away the trash, but for sure these process can really makes a better, happier and clean community.

Project IGNITE, previously known as ASEAN Project is one of Project Based on Exchange (PBox) that was initiated by AIESEC Local Committee in Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). Through Project IGNITE 2016, AIESEC wish to enhance the socioeconomics of the indigenous communities in Kampung Kachau Luar, Semenyih. In the field of entrepreneurship, by collaborating with Fakulti Ekonomi & Pengurusan (FEP), various efforts to help indigenous communities to enhance their socioeconomics will be introduced. Among the initiatives introduced are helping them in promoting their eco-tourism (jungle trekking), selling of their handicraft products, provide short-term courses such as basic accounting and bookkeeping to the aboriginal communities and many others.Besides helping them to enhance their socioeconomics, education is also very important at the moment. It is the biggest challenge for these indigenous community in order for them to compete in the modern world. Considering dropout percentage among orang asli children is very high, efforts to channel the importance of education to the indigenous communities will also be carried out with the help of the international facilitator. By doing this, we sincerely hope to reduce the education gap between the urban and orang asli children in Malaysia.Workshops that focus on secondary schools , private higher learning institutions , and matriculation colleges around the Kajang, Bangi, Semenyih and Cheras areas will also be held and facilitated by exchange participants .The workshop is conducted to educate high school students on the knowledge of social entrepreneurship as well as the relevant soft-skills needed for career development. We wish to reach out to youths in order to prepare them for future regional economic challenges.
