COMMUNITY SERVICES PROGRAM BY UTP INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS



On 07th August 2010, Village 4 (V4) committee in collaboration with the UTP International Student Council (ISC) high committee members led by ISC Welfare Exco 2, Mr. Issa Abdramane (Chadian), and the UTP Egyptian student community (ESC) high committee led by ESC President, Mr. Beshoy Safwat, participated in a community services program. The program was cleaning  the surau (muslim madrasah) at Taman Bandar Universiti, Seri Iskandar, Perak. This noble program was organized in celebrating the coming Holy month of Ramadhan.
This program was participated by nine UTP international students, three UTP staff and the local community . The main objective of this program is to generate integration among UTP international students and the local community. 

The program started at 8.00 a.m and ended at about 12.30 p.m. The students also had breakfast together with the local community. After the end of the program, before the students left, they gave the surau committee some items such as prayer mat, “sarong pelikat” (a cloth worn by muslim males to pray) and “telekong” (a cloth worn by muslim females to pray) for the use of the people that comes to the surau.

On behalf of the International Student Unit and International Student Council, we would like to convey our heartiest appreciation and gratitude to our Honorable Rector, Y.Bhg Datuk Dr. Zainal Abidin Bin Hj Kasim, Director of Student Services, Tuan Hj. Mohamed Noor Rosli Baharom and Senior Manager of Student Support Services Department, Encik Muhammad Syazwan Amarjit bin Abdullah, for their guidance and support as well as everyone who contributed immensely in ensuring the success of the program.
