The
Central Mindanao Colleges through its Graduate School Education Program and
Center for International Affairs and Linkages collaborated with Pertubuhan
Pemuda GEMA Malaysia, more known as GEMA Youth to support the needs of Rohingya
Refugee Children in Malaysia through the PagamUmmah Beyond PH: International
Community Immersion and Social Action last June 12, 2024 at the Maahad Tahfiz
Madinatul Ulum, Sri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia.
A
delegation of 18 CMC administrators, Graduate School students and staff
allocated a portion of their International Academic and Cultural Exchange (I
ACE) Program in Malaysia to be with the refugee children and facilitate
learning activities to contribute in the numeracy and literacy programs being
organized by GEMA Youth under their Pusat Tuisyen Ikhlas Project.
Prior
to the visit, CMC’s partner, GEMA Youth headed by their President Mohammad Amar
bin Masuri conducted a needs assessment in the community as a reference in the
purchase of food and appliances which were also donated to address the needs by
the children.
This
initiative is also in line with the observance of the World Refugee Day and
Eid’l Adha (Feast of Sacrifice) of our Muslim brothers and sisters.
CMC

PROGRAMS and commitment to holistic education and community engagement. CHOOSE
