Mini Report
On 7th March 2020, Geoinformatics Club organised a great programme that helps our environment to be better for all Geoinformatics members . The program is named "Geo-Inspire Nature Camp (GEOINC'20). Mudball preparation is one of the activities that is being conducted. Mud balls consist of a mixture of natural, clay, organic matter, molasses, minerals and is a useful combination of Acidic Lactic Acid, Phototrophic Bacteria, Yeast and Antinomy Tenses. It acts slowly from the base to reduce the water pollution and improve water quality. From the program, we learned how Mud balls are being prepared. We are divided randomly by group to create 5000 mudball under supervision of Green Earth society NGO’s for the purpose of river cleaning in our next activity at Desaru.
As stated, one of the Graduate Attributes being focused are team working skills. In this program we work together in a divided random group to solve our task. Each member was commited and cooperated to make the program successful.
Self Reflection
From this program, I learned that water supply such as rivers and beaches are important and we need to prevent them from being polluted. Other than that I also learned new things in my life which is mud balls. At first, I didn't know what a mud ball is and how it works but during the program, I got new knowledge about mud balls. In addition I also got the opportunity to produce my own mud balls under invited NGO's supervision. This program is able to produce high team spirit and leadership because we are divided randomly in groups to prepare 5000 mud balls. Throughout the program I was able to improve my communication skills to communicate and cooperate between group members. At first I was a bit clumsy because this is my first time doing mud balls but with the help of team working, it makes the learning fun and easy.
Last but not least, I received a lot of experience and knowledge while following this program. I am very happy and hope that I can join this kind of program again in the future.
