Community Outreach
Project Flare
Project Flare aims to provide disadvantaged students with public speaking education through accessible courses, and curated resources. Project Flare partners with NorthLight School, which caters to students who have been diagnosed with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID) and those with Mild Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The school is specifically for students ranging from 7-18 years old who have Intellectual Quotient (IQ) which falls within the range of 50-70. Beyond learning the power of speech, learners will be equipped with essential 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, effective communication, and collaboration to prepare them for the future workplace. As the founder of the project, I am greatly involved in the strategic planning, and oversight of the project as a whole. I have taken much pride and effort to curate a strong Founding Team (3 Founding Members), a competent Executive Committee (6 EXCO Members), and a dedicated team of volunteers (11 Volunteers).

Project Reperio
Project Reperio conducts lessons and fun activities for Rohingya refugee teens aged 14-18 in Malaysia. Project Reperio partners with Cahaya Surya Bakti, a non-profit organisation in Johor Bahru. The academics section focuses on providing beneficiaries with free tuition to support their education, while the non-academics section focuses on teaching our beneficiaries a range of skills from drawing to sewing to video-editing. This dualistic approach seeks to provide beneficiaries with a holistic education and impart skills that will be useful to them. As part of the EXCO in charge of the publicity department, I am greatly involved in curating Project Reperio’s branding. From creating Instagram posts to organising fundraising events, my work within Project Reperio is extremely critical. Moreover, I also take the extra step to be involved in other departments, such as through teaching non-academic lessons, or helping out with the Reperio Roses initiative. This helps me to better appreciate the inner workings of the project, aiding my ability to effectively publicise the project, while allowing me to personally grow through these acts of service.
(i) Reperio Roses Fundraiser
Reperio EXCO rolled out Reperio Roses fundraiser initiative, which focused on selling roses to students on Valentine's Day, with all proceeds going to funding mobile data for the students in Cahaya Surya Bakti to be able to Zoom call for lessons. Altogether, the initiative had a profit of $900, all of which have been sent over to the students in Cahaya Surya Bakti.
