樂在「耆」中 Service Project is a student-led initiative organized in April 2025. It aims to promote social inclusion and foster communication and understanding between the younger generation and senior citizens, serving approximately 90 elderly participants. The project consists of three main components:
The Connect Mai Service Project is a student-led overseas initiative that took place in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in May 2025. During the project, students provided first aid and mental health support to local children, conducted workshops on personal hygiene and infection control, and helped them develop healthier habits. The project served over 50 children.
This student-driven initiative not only delivered tangible benefits to the local community but also offered participants a valuable opportunity to experience cross-cultural exchange and embody the spirit of “service-learning” through hands-on engagement.
The “I Clean, Therefore I Am” Service Project is a student-led overseas initiative organized in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in August 2025. With support from local community organizations, students visited a local university to share knowledge about health and hygiene with over 50 participants. Activities included workshops on making mosquito repellents and personal hygiene products, aiming to prevent dengue fever and promote healthier living habits.
Additionally, students collaborated with the local conservation group SUNGAI KLANG to clean the Klang River, one of the world’s most polluted rivers. They learned about the use of enzyme technology for river cleaning and gained valuable environmental knowledge.
The Youth Corner Service Project is a student-led initiative organized in March 2025. Through ongoing peer interaction activities such as board games, crafts, and guest sharing sessions featuring “Companion Birds,” students provided emotional wellness tips while promoting mental health awareness on-campus. The project aims to encourage university students to prioritize their mental well-being and attracted around 20 participants.
