ACTIVITIES PLANNED FOR THE YEAR 2011/2012 FOR SUNGAI PETANI INDIAN STUDENTS



MAC
  1. EDUCATE & EDUCARE PROGRAMME (E2CARE) & FOLLOW-UP OF TEC 2010
During this one day follow-up programme, the volunteers can choose their kid and follow throughout their education progress till they complete their Form 3 (PMR). (GAPIT will help us to conduct tuition classes with minimal payment). These foster parents have to guide their kids in education and also religious activities. At the end of every month, they have to give the progress report to the committee to check on their development and their gradual progress. Our main intention is to guide these students after the TEC project so that these students can continue progressing in their education till they reach PMR as this will be the platform for them to choose their career near future.
Estimated Expenses : RM1302.00 (84 participants – Food, stationary, files and mineral water)

  1. CENTRE FOR CAREER COUNSELING & GUIDANCE (C3G)
Centre for Career Counseling & Guidance (C3G) is a special project designed to provide a wide range of guidance and counseling to students who have taken their SPM in 2010 and is expected to get their results on the 23 of Mac 2011. This program will be conducted on the 26 of Mac 2011 at Subramaniam Temple in Sungai Petani. Flyers to all the secondary schools in Kedah has been distributed through the school Indian teachers and also nationwide announcement has been made by EWRF. The objective of the workshop is to guide students to choose their career based on their SPM results and guide them with their online application. There will also be an Education Fare. Six colleges will be opning their booth. This is a joint venture program with GAPIT. Besides that, we also encourage students between 18 years to 25 years to apply for courses fully sponsored by Government agencies, like IKBN and ILP. EWRF too will help to change the mind set of most Malaysian Indians who think that Skill Training will not give them a good image. We want to let them know that 3/5 of the workforce in Malaysia is skill-related job and the global demand and return for such skills are very high. We help, especially those under achievers and poor economic background with minimum qualification to apply on-line during the C3G programme.

The selected students will attend a 3 day youth camp during the school holidays in June and they will be encouraged to take part in various activities aimed at modifying their behavior and turning them into better citizens with a chance to progress in their adult lives.

This year we expect to get around 150 students to participate. Flyers will be distributed to all the primary school students who have taken their UPSR. Our main intention is build confidence among these students and to get them exposed to the secondary school environment. We are focusing in English as the main subject because most students from the Tamil schools are unable to communicate in English and this is the main factor why students don’t perform when they go to secondary schools.

The club is a platform for young students from the ages of 12 till 18 years old to further develop their skills and interests in order to achieve their goals and ambition. Programs carried out are: Personal Development Programme, 1 day Education Seminar & Adventure Camp. The main objective of this programme is to develop a strong relationship among the Junior Club members, to forge a better understanding and teamwork. Our target is to get more students and to help them mentally.
  1. E4J (ENGLISH FOR JUNIORS)
Formerly known as English Enrichment Programme (EEP). This project aims to promote English among Tamil school students, so that they exude self-confidence in communication and are more proficient in English. This programme aims to teach children to communicate effectively in spoken English using games and fun activities. Thus, this programme uses the method of enjoyment to promote confidence building and a love for learning English among the students.
  1. ASTRO KANADI KUDUMBEM
This programme was a joint venture of Astro and EWRF. In this programme, EWRF Sungai Petani selected a poor family from Bedong. A sum of money and monthly expenses were provided to help them with the household things. This family consists of 2 special children (who cant walk, use pampers and on wheelchair), a grandmother who is blind and their father passed away and they don’t have a mother.  We are doing all the follow-ups by going monthly and getting them goods and foodstuffs during our visit there. We too try to identify some hard core poors to help them.
