Malaysia Summer Program

Malaysia focused on grassroots initiatives, such as improving community spaces, supporting vulnerable populations, and promoting environmental conservation, allows students to take part in hands-on projects that align with their personal interests and aspirations. The multicultural environment also encourages collaboration and cultural exchange, helping Hong Kong students gain new perspectives and develop a deeper understanding of global social issues.

Malaysia offers students a unique platform to support vulnerable communities through volunteer opportunities in environmental conservation and community projects. With cultural similarities to Hong Kong, the programme fosters empathy, growth, and social responsibility. Participants engage in meaningful service, cultural immersion, and skill development, enriching their personal and social experiences.

Community Service & Social Engagement (Week 1 & 2)

These activities nurture compassionate leaders by engaging students in direct, meaningful interactions with diverse groups, such as orphans, the elderly, and individual with disabilities.

• Orphanage – Students will spend time at local orphanages, assisting with educational daily games activities, and organizing providing companionship. This provides a chance to directly impact the lives of children in need.
• Old Folks Home – Students will have the opportunity to spend time with the senior citizens who are based at homes catered for seniors with or without disabilities. This opportunity will allow the students to understand what old age entails and how we can prepare ourselves for the future; either for ourselves or for our loved ones.
• Kiwanis Down Syndrome Home – Participants will assist staff at the Kiwanis Children Centre in Kuantan, which focuses on providing early intervention programmes for children with Down Syndrome and other learning disabilities. Activities may include helping with educational sessions, therapy-related tasks, or simply engaging the children in play.

Environmental Conservation (Week 3)

By teaching high school students to value the environment and act sustainable, we not only equip them with the tools to address ecological challenges but also empower them lead meaningful change in their communities and beyond.

• Turtle Release – Students will visit the Cherating Turtle Conservation & Information Centre, a renowned center for turtle conservation. They will participate in educational talks and if available, assist in the release of turtle hatchlings, an activity that teaches students about marine biodiversity and conservation efforts.
• Tree Planting – Partnering with local organizations like the University Malaysia Pahang (UMP) Kilau Volunteers or the Kuantan City Council (MBK) students will participate in tree-planting initiatives, particularly in the city and along coastal areas to prevent erosion and create a greener environment.
• Beach Clean-up – Working with groups like the Institute of Oceanography and Maritime Studies (INOCEM) or other smaller organizations, students will organize and execute beach clean-up drives at Kuantan’s beaches. This hands-on activity highlights the problem of marine pollution and encourages environmental stewardship.
