A group of 19 students and one lecturer from the Diploma in Business Administration programme at the Faculty of Business (FOB) embarked on a meaningful trip to Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Ceria Harapan in Bukit Baru, Melaka, recently. The primary objective of their visit was to engage with the children residing in the center and provide support in various ways.
Through their collective efforts, the students managed to raise a generous donation of RM2200, which was utilised to purchase essential items such as food, cleaning necessities, and toys for the children. Additionally, the students also collected used clothes to be donated to the charity organization, further extending their support.
At Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Ceria Harapan, the students were greeted by a group of 20 children, including 9 boys, 11 girls, and 2 babies, who called the center their home. The facility was staffed by 8 dedicated caretakers who worked tirelessly to ensure the well-being of the children. Under the supervision of Ms. Nur Faezah Jayiddin for the subject of MPU2409 – Personal Social Responsibility, the students organised various engaging activities aimed at fostering a positive and enjoyable environment for the children. These activities included games, crafts, and interactive sessions that encouraged bonding and personal growth.
The overarching goal of this event was to raise awareness about the existence of the charity home within the community. By actively participating in the initiative, the students aimed to highlight the significance of public support in the form of tangible contributions, financial aid, and emotional assistance. The trip served as a reminder of the shared responsibility to care for those in need and create a sense of unity and empathy within society. Through their efforts, the students not only provided immediate assistance but also fostered lasting connections and memories with the children at Pusat Jagaan Kanak-Kanak Ceria Harapan.
