LOTS OF ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Disaster Fund

Dear All,

I'm sure that you are already aware of the recent disasters in Manila and Padang. Mercy Malaysia has sent a team to each location for initial assessment, and they anticipate that there is a great need for both locations to be assisted, especially with more bad weather forecasted.

In view of the recent disasters, we would be grateful if you could highlight the urgency of funds to be raised for their response to Manila and Padang.

At the moment, all donations are still channeled to MERCY Malaysia, or MERCY Humanitarian Fund. I have attached a donation form for those who are interested in making a donation.

Their donor management officer, Ms.Suhaila, will be able to assist you further, and she is contactable at suhaila@mercy.org.my or603-2273 3999.

The SRC would like help from batchreps to collect funds as a batch by passing around a box or alternatively students can come directly to SRC to donate. All funds collected by SRC will be given under one donation form from the students of IMU.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah
President SRC BJ 09/10

2. INVITATION TO HIV/AIDS AWARENESS SESSION 2009 - PUBLIC

Good Evening,


Leo Club of KL Perennial will be running the *HIV/AIDS Peer**‐**to**‐**Peer
Educators* program. We are working together with *Malaysian Aids Council*,
*Standard Chartered Bank *and* AIESEC *to deliver the HIV/AIDS education
talk. This *HIV: The Series* consists of the following five (05) modules
on HIV/AIDS.



Module 1 : What is HIV? What is AIDS?

Module 2 : Transmission and Prevention

Module 3 : The World and Us

Module 4 : Testing, Treatment, Positive Living and
Support

Module 5 : Sharing Session





As we all understand that HIV/AIDS does not discriminate on the basis of
race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, national, ethnic or social
origin. Middle age and youths are being the two (2) highest groups living
with HIV/AIDS, they need to be empowered to take control of their life and
protect themselves from being vulnerable.



We believe that empowerment comes from knowledge and this is precisely why
we are undertaking this challenge to be youth champions to create a
community of a well‐informed, energetic, and dynamic people. In such, our
main objectives for the program will work towards



1. Increasing the awareness about HIV/AIDS amongst public.

2. Reducing stigma of HIV/AIDS.

3. Providing a platform for public of diversified backgrounds to interact
and share common opinion.

In addition, the aspiration gives us another great pleasure to cordially
invite you and your friends to join us in the program.* **Kindly refer

3. MICROWAVE AND FIRST AID KIT FOR STUDENTS

Dear All,

I am pleased to inform you that the First Aid Kit in the Student Lounge has been filled up for a while already by the SRC.

What the inside of the First Aid Box looks like when it's filled up.

However, if we find that the items inside the box are once again stolen we will unfortunately have to stop placing anything inside the box and it shall remain forever empty.

So please be considerate of other and use the box to treat real injuries and emergencies.

Also we are happy to announce that we have bought a microwave for the students to use to reheat their food.


Please be considerate

• and treat the microwave gently. Do not bang the door or punch the open button.
• to our muslim friends and do not reheat non-halal food in the microwave.
• and do not heat inappropriate items in the microwave, it is only meant for heating up food.

Also, this is a reminder to all students that eating inside the student lounge is prohibited.

If you want to eat, please eat in the eating area inside the SRC office or on the tables of the first, second and fourth floor if it's outside food. If it's food from the canteen please eat it in the canteen, not the student lounge.

This is to prevent any rat infestation and unsightly stains (which have been increasing recently) in the student lounge.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

4. CANTEEN SATISFACTION SURVEY

Dear all,

Here is a survey that we would like the students to fill in so we can work on improving the canteen for students.

There are only 11 questions because we don't want to waste students time on it or have them quit doing it halfway. At the same time we want to get as much feedback as possible.

Here is the link to the survey: Please click here

This survey will take less than 5 minutes. All answers will be anonymous.

If there is not enough response to these surveys we will send out the survey in paper form. We really need the feedback from the students to make the canteen more student-friendly. The more statistics we have the easier it is to show the caterers what the students want.

Warmest regards,
Zia Shah

FORWARDED MESSAGE:

Dear Sir/Madam

I'm a registered medical doctor in New Zealand, having trained in Christchurch Medical School.

I have a house in Christchurch that is up for rent and I'm just wondering whether any of the IMU students would be interested. For the past few years I have rented it out to IMU students and would like to have another group of IMU students again for next year. Can you please advise on the best way to advertise for this?

Thanks.

Regards
Michelle Law
