KUALA LUMPUR, 3 June 2024 – In a heartwarming display of dedication and community spirit, the Program Tuisyen Rahoma, a volunteer tutoring initiative, successfully concluded its latest edition. Aimed at bolstering the
academic performance of primary and secondary students from the Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia, it was a testament to the power of collaboration between university students and local communities.
Held every Wednesday for ten weeks from April 24th to July 3rd and running from 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM, it brought together volunteers and young learners in a shared pursuit of knowledge. The program, organized by the dedicated student committee from the Jawatankuasa Kolej Mahasiswa Pelajar Luar Kampus (JKM PLK) club at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (UTMKL), demonstrated the university’s unwavering commitment to community service. Under the guidance of Dr. Mohamad Azlan bin Suhot, who served as the Patron, and with the invaluable assistance of En. Mohamad Firdaus bin Majid as Advisor and En. Muhamad Sharifuddin bin Abd Rahim as Program Coordinator, the initiative not only provided academic support but also fostered teaching skills and a sense of social responsibility among the student volunteers.
Program Tuisyen Rahoma was planned with several objectives in mind, including: providing social support and a
thirst for learning for students who are in need of a positive educational environment; fulfilling UTM’s mission in
prospering lives through knowledge; contributing to three sustainable development goals (Quality Education,
Gender Education, and Sustainable Cities and Communities). Pertubuhan Rahoma Darul Fakir Malaysia, just a
five-minute walk from Residensi UTMKL, serves as a haven for children from vulnerable families and was the
perfect setting for this initiative. Over the course of ten weeks, the small court of Pertubuhan Rahoma
transformed into a bustling center of learning and mentorship.
