Miri – 19 December 2023 - In a heartening display of compassion and community

engagement, 14 diploma students from the School of Pre-U and Continuing Education

(SPACE) at Curtin University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia) recently organised a community

service event at Pusat Jagaan Anak Kesayangan Kami here.

The students dedicated their time and efforts to bring joy to the children at the orphanage,

presenting them with essential items such as clothing, books, and toys. Beyond material

gifts, the students actively engaged with the children in various activities to create

memorable moments.

The day was filled with laughter and creativity as the students participated in playtime with

the children, fostering a sense of connection and friendship. A drawing activity added a

touch of artistic expression to the event, with the students providing the children with

coloured pencils and other art supplies to unleash their imagination. The resulting artworks

were proudly displayed at the orphanage, showcasing the collaborative efforts between the

students and the children.

Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day was the sushi booth, where the students showcased

their culinary skills by serving a delightful variety of sushi to the orphans. The children not

only enjoyed the delicious treats but also had the opportunity to make their own sushi,

adding an interactive and enjoyable dimension to the event. To add to the culinary

experience, the students treated the children to some scrumptious fried snacks, further

enhancing the overall enjoyment of the day.

Headmistress of Pusat Jagaan Anak Kesayangan Kami, Ummi Badariah Hassan, the

expressed her gratitude, wishing the Curtin students all the best. “I hope they do well in their

future endeavours, and continue to do good deeds, and remember to always be kind” she said.

Auni Nabila Binti Anuar, one of the participating Curtin students, shared her experience,

stating, “It was a new experience for me. The kids were so lovely and adorable. We will

definitely visit them”

Fellow student Meghan Gituen Lim also expressed how it was a new experience for her. “I’m

glad that I got to participate in this project. The children were very well-behaved, and they

welcomed us with open arms” she remarked.

Group leader Elvira Shao, meanwhile, thanked the event’s sponsors, Law Siew Ping, Chai

Chen Lian and Thang Ai Chiew, as well as their unit lecturer, Farahezza Hairon Nizar, who

initiated the event.

This community service initiative not only benefitted the orphans at Pusat Jagaan Anak

Kesayangan Kami but also exemplified the spirit of altruism and camaraderie among the

students of Curtin Malaysia. The event served as a reminder of the positive impact that small

acts of kindness can have on the lives of others.

The students hope that the community will continue to extend support to these unfortunate

children, fostering a caring environment for their growth and development.
