Dineshwaran is now empowered to be one of the volunteers to assist our main facilitator to facilitate the class for the SAP Malaysia CSR Filming Day.

Madam Jeya is a single mother who raised up three children - Yogavarthine (eldest daughter), Dineshwaran and Maatheeswaran all by herself. Through life is challenging for here, but her self-motivated spirit by not stopping herself to learn new things is very inspiring.

Mentored by the volunteers from HELP University, each student was given 1 hour to do online research for the title they chose. Both volunteer and student together look for information and photos for their topic.

While the students and volunteers were working on their projects, the production team kicks start with their documentation by interviewing the Managing Director of SAP Malaysia, Mr. Terrence Yong and the Program Manager of HOPE worldwide Malaysia, Mr. Caesar Teh. After the interview session, the team also documented the students and volunteers inside the 1 Stop IT Resource Centre.

Dow Chemical volunteers had a great time doing online research with the students. Each volunteer was assigned to group with one student to do this project. Environment is a general topic, so we break the main topic into smaller areas for them to focus on: Recycling, Global Warming, Water, Endangered Species & Trees (Forest). After gathered sufficient information from the internet, the volunteers will do a Power Point Presentation Slides together with the students. Lastly, the presentation slides will be printed out and bound together as a project book. Evrery respective volunteer and student who did the topic research will do a LIVE presentation for everyone. The best presentation group will be awarded!

Thanks to Dow Chemical for your initiatives in reaching out to the underprivileged students. We believe this is a milestone for both HOPE worldwide Malaysia and Dow Chemical in achieving a greater height of CSR Initiatives. Especially in educating the urban poor students about the importance of taking care our environment in many aspects.
