Mini report :
From 14th to 19th October 2019, I had taken part in a donation drive which was part of the program of Volunteer IEM 2.0. This program was conducted by The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) UTM, Student Section and lasted for about one week. The donation drive was carried out at Arcked Cengal, Arked Meranti and PSZ, UTM. The number of volunteers was about 30 people who were the committee of IEM. In order to make sure the program can be carried out successfully, we had decided our own available slot to carry out the donation drive. All the fund that had been collected during the donation drive was donated to Berkat Children’s Home at Johor Bahru.
SELF-REFLECTION
I was thankful to have such a golden opportunity to take part in this donation drive to help the people who are in need. Firstly, we had gathered at Arked Meranti for the briefing section and the task distribution. After that, we went to each location for the donation drive and I stayed at Arked Meranti as this is the place that I had been located for collecting the fund. Honestly, I felt quite nervous as this is the first time to me in joining a donation drive in UTM. However, this feeling disappeared when I started asking the people for the donation. Besides, I found that people are very generous. After listening to our description about the donation drive, they were willing to donate to us as much as possible. We also gave the receipts to them as their return for their kindness. In addition, I also found that most of the UTM students started having their dinner starting at about 6.30 p.m. as we could see there was a crowd at this epic hour. Hence, we could collect more fund too at this epic hour. At around 7.45pm, we stopped collecting the fund to have our dinner as well as calculating the total funds that we had collected.
Furthermore, I had joined another section of donation drive at Arked Cengal too. The overall process was almost same as the previous day that I had participated in Arcked Meranti. The total funds that collected from each section is about RM400. We were quite satisfied about this results. In conclusion, I enjoyed the whole process of donation drive. I also hoped that there will be more donation drive that will be held as it is a way to help the people who are I need.
When I was 1st year undergraduate student, I had involved myself to be the IEM member. I had took a golden opportunity to involve myself in the donation drive which is under the event of Volunteer IEM 2.0. I had collected the donation in the UTM campus with other IEM members during this event. The purpose of this donation is to help the children in the Berkat Children's Home at Johor Bahru.
