On 7 April 2011, we kickstarted our DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Workshops, where participants gathered to hand-make certain items to be gifted to the villagers of Tronoh Mines.
For the morning session, more than 30 students turned up to create suku kata (Malay: syllable) cards for the primary school children of Tronoh Mines. They had to cut the printed paper, paste them onto a manila card and seal it in a plastic cover. A total of 30 sets were made throughout the day.
Participants walked away with free Lost World of Tambun discount vouchers, courtesy of Sunway City Ipoh.
At 1pm, another more exciting session commenced. Students had the hands-on experience of making shoe racks out of recycled wood planks sponsored by the Majlis Daerah Kampar.

Participants were busy polishing the wooden planks and hammering them into shape before putting on the final touches of applying shellac. The lively atmosphere attracted much attention; a few lecturers also dropped by to lend their helping hands.
There will be another two sessions of DIY Workshop on the following day. Stay tuned for the updates!
