The “Secret Santa Service” was held from the 16th to 20th December, in conjunction with the festive Christmas season. This served as a platform for the newly appointed semester one AMSA ambassadors in International Medical University (IMU) to work together and improve our group dynamics. Additionally, we wanted to spread the joy of giving to others ubiquitous to Christmas to the people in our school. At an affordable price of RM4, the Secret Santa composed of freshly baked cranberry white chocolate cookies as well as a card with handwritten messages from the sender to the receiver. The total revenue of the sales hit a whooping RM582, but the biggest benefit was seeing the amount of heart and effort each team member put in and blessing the students of IMU with hand-delivered packages.
The “PROJECT AID: Typhoon Haiyan” was an AMSA Malaysia initiative conducted by the semester 1 AMSA ambassadors of International Medical School (IMU). Over the course of two weeks, the donation team went to individual lectures of the different medical, dental and health science batches and personally collected the funds, and setting up donation booths and donation boxes in the form of a humble biscuit tins around the IMU campus. Along the way, we educated them on the paramount importance of monetary funds for the people in Haiyan instead clothing and food donations. We started out with an aim to reach RM10000 as a school. Despite concurrent donation drives under other organizations for the same cause, our enthusiasm and generosity of the givers still managed to garner an impressive RM4400 as a school. Our efforts sparked the attention of Professor Ong, who proposed a collaboration of donation efforts between the sum collected and MERCY Malaysia, featuring this donation drive in the local newspapers.
