"Taste of Traditions Gala" Raises RM1,000 for the Beautiful Gate Educational Centre for the Disabled

The Department of Social Science and Hospitality (Communication) recently held a highly successful cultural fundraising event, "Taste of Traditions Gala". The event, organized by students from the Bachelor of Communication Studies (Honours) and Diploma in Public Relations programmes, brought together community members for an unforgettable evening celebrating culture, food, and charity.

The event’s primary objective was to raise funds for the Beautiful Gate Educational Centre for the Disabled in Kampar, and the students achieved their goal, raising a total of RM1,000 from the event’s proceeds. This impressive contribution reflects the student organizers' commitment to social causes and their ability to mobilize resources for the betterment of the community.

Year 1 Semester 3 students from Diploma E-Commerce and Marketing, Diploma in Business Administration, Year 1 Semester 3 students from Diploma in Accounting, and Year 2 Semester 3 students from Diploma in Communication and Media Studies and Diploma in Event Management organised a charity project which is Shells of Hope: Uniting for Turtle Conservation as a part of their MPU-2312/2202 Civic Consciousness and Volunteerism coursework requirement. 

The Shells of Hope: Uniting for Turtle Conservation project was held on 9 September 2024 and the theme is Treats Without Borders Food Carnival. The charity activities comprised sales of food and drinks. The main aim of the charity project is to raise an estimated RM 1,000.00 and all the donated funds will be donated to Segari Turtle Sanctuary. 

The objectives of the charity projects are to create awareness among undergraduates to be a part of a caring society, to promote teamwork and tolerance among team members to make these projects successful, to develop students’ character by enhancing their civic consciousness through charity or voluntary work/projects, and to produce students who are altruistic and concerned with the well-being of others.
