SUMMER CAMP 09 H1N1 ADVISORY!!

Due to the current epidemic of the H1N1 virus, the committee of the Summer Camp 2009 has agreed that though we still have fun as planned during the camp, it is important to take these precautionary measures in preventing our camp from becoming a transmitting ground for the virus. Thus, each committee and participant is strongly advised to follow these precautionary steps:

• Report any illnesses that you’re having, even though the symptoms are mild, to any facilitators.

Symptoms are: Fever, cough, flu, extreme fatigue and/or joint pains.

• Hand sanitizers are placed strategically in places around the camp. Use them.
• Do maintain hand cleanliness at all times. Wash your hands at all possible avenues.
• Cover your sneezes and coughs with a tissue, and throw them into the trash bins. If you don’t have one, use your sleeves.

We hope that these restrictions would not deter you from having fun during the camp. But please, adhere to advisory so that we all could have fun even after the camp.

Final List!

Congratulations to all fc's who have confirmed their names. On behalf of Kelab UMNO NY-NJ, I would like to thank all of you for your willingness to join this camp. "Sesungguhnya Allah sahaja yang akan membalas jasa kalian!"

One Day Visit to Mersing

Pada hari Isnin, beberapa wakil Kelab telah mengadakan lawatan sehari di tiga buah sekolah di sekitar kawasan Mersing. Ketiga-tiga sekolah ini merupakan tiga buah sekolah yang dijemput untuk menyertai Summer Camp 2009 di Kem YPJ, Sekakap, Mersing.

Secara amnya, lawatan ini bolehlah dikatakan berjaya kerana kami telah mendapat persetujuan secara lisan daripada ketiga-tiga Pengetua dari sekolah-sekolah tersebut.

Berdasarkan perbincangan kami bersama ketiga-tiga Pengetua tersebut, dapatlah kami rumuskan seperti berikut:

• Keselamatan dan Kebajikan para pelajar perlu dititikberatkan oleh Pihak Kelab
• Pendekatan melalui perkongsian pengalaman bersama para pelajar merupakan salah satu cara terbaik dalam memberi motivasi kepada para pelajar
• Pembentukan Keyakinan Para peserta perlu dititikberatkan sepanjang menyertai Summer Camp ini.
• Pihak Penganjur dapat mengurangkan jurang perbezaan di kalangan pelajar yang datang dari latar belakang yang berbeza
• Ketiga-tiga Pihak sekolah amat bersetuju dan memberikan dokongan dan sokongan kepada Pihak Kelab untuk menjayakan Summer Camp ini

Bagi Pihak Kelab, kami amat menitikberatkan segala pandangan dan komen daripada Pihak Sekolah yang terlibat. Setiap sekolah juga secara amnya bersetuju untuk menghantar 2 guru pengiring, dan juga menyediakan pengangkutan para pelajar ke Kem YPJ, Sekakap.

Oleh itu, Pihak Kelab amat berterima kasih di atas sokongan dan komitmen yang diberikan oleh Pihak Sekolah. Layanan yang diberikan kepada kami amatlah baik. "Kami diberikan minuman percuma di setiap sekolah sehingga perut kami hampir pecah."

Selesai sahaja segala urusan di Mersing, kami terus bertolak ke Johor Bahru untuk bertemu kakitangan JPNJ. Kami amat bersyukur, segala perancangan dapat dijalankan dengan jayanya. Ini semua atas kehendak dan izin Allah, serta komitmen dan kerjasama yang padu dikalangan Ahli Kelab.

Sekian

Aktiviti Program Summer Camp 2009 di Mersing

Seperti yang digembar-gemburkan, pasukan Kelab UMNO NY-NJ akan menganjurkan Program Summer Camp 2009 di Mersing pada 7-9 Ogos nanti. Setelah berhempas-pulas memikirkan apa yang terbaik untuk dihidangkan kepada para peserta, ajk-ajk program

berjaya menyusun aktiviti-aktiviti yang difikirkan boleh menaikkan nilai fizikal, intelektual,emosional, dan spiritual para peserta. Berikut adalah aktiviti-aktiviti yang akan dijalankan:

Sesi 1 : How does oversea look like?

• Pengalaman yang dilalui oleh para pelajar di perantauan telah banyak membentuk serta membina personaliti mereka. Suatu perubahan positif dapat dilihat di dalam diri mereka setelah mereka pulang ke tanah air. Perubahan inilah yang dilihat perlu dikongsi dengan para peserta bagi membentuk mereka supaya menjadi pelajar yang lebih berdikari tidak kira dari segi akademik ataupun sahsiah diri.

• LDK 1 - Memberi peluang kepada para peserta untuk berkongsi pengalaman dengan fasilitator yang berpendidikan luar negara. Pangalaman serta nasihat daripada fasilitator dapat diberikan kepada para peserta secara lebih khusus.

Sesi 2 : It is not about me, it is about us.

• Para peserta akan didedahkan dengan tujuan mereka sebagai pelajar. Apakah yang penting dalam hidup mereka dan apakah yang menjadi keperluan utama dalam kehidupan mereka. Adakah mereka belajar untuk diri sendiri? Ataupun untuk keluarga mereka? Bagaimana pula dengan rakan-rakan? Ilmu yang mereka pelajari, kepada siapakah ia akan digunakan?

Sesi 3 : It’s time to build a robot.

• Pada masa kini robot tidak lagi dinafikan kepentingannya. Fasilitator akan menunjukkan teknologi robot kepada para peserta. Para peserta akan diajar sedikit sebanyak tentang robot dan cara ia berfungsi. Sesi ini merupakan pendedahan awal para peserta dengan kejuruteraan robotik.

• LDK 3 – Setiap kumpulan akan diberikan dengan satu set robot. Setiap kumpulan akan membina robot tersebut dan memastikan robot tersebut berfungsi. Setiap kumpulan akan dibimbing oleh fasilitator masing-masing.

Sesi 4: Learn how to learn.

• Peserta akan diberikan penerangan serta pendedahan tentang cara-cara efektif pembelajaran. Teknik pembelajaran tersebut akan merangkumi semua aspek pembelajaran termasuklah kaedah berkomunikasi, pembahagian masa, teknik menjawab soalan, serta adab-adab belajar.

• LDK 4 – Fasilitator setiap kumpulan akan berkongsi tentang teknik pembelajaran. Para peserta lebih berpeluang untuk bertanya kepada fasilitator tentang persoalan serta keraguan mereka sebagai pelajar.

Sesi 5: What is waiting for you?

• Adalah penting untuk para peserta merancang hala tuju masing-masing selepas SPM. Bidang apakah yang akan diceburi? Apakah peluang yang ada? Bagaimana merebut peluang tersebut? Pentingkah biasiswa? Bidang apakah yang harus mereka pilih?

Sesi : Permainan (4 jenis)

• Umumnya, aktiviti ini dirangka untuk merapatkan hubungan antara para peserta dan juga fasilitator. Ini sekaligus dapat meningkatkan motivasi para pelajar dalam mencapai objektif program.

Sesi : Tazkirah

• Memberi pendedahan kepada para peserta dalam mengamalkan Islam yang lebih fleksibel. Ini sesuai dengan pengalaman yang diperolehi oleh para fasilitator sepanjang kehidupan mereka dibumi asing. Ini amat penting agar pemahaman mengenai Islam mestilah berdasarkan konsep yang sebenar. Bukannya, Islam berdasarkan adat dan tradisi masyarakat setempat.
