UNGS 1201 WEEK 10 : SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT FIELD WORK & PROJECT INITIATIVES OF IIUM

-
                Assalamualaikum and Hyee everyone ! I hope all of you doing well 💝 Insya Allah, for this week, we will have a short and simple blog about "Field Work and Project Initiatives of IIUM regarding Sustainable Development". As a university, IIUM plays a significant role towards implementing Sejahtera concept within and outside communities that close to university's location.



                So, one of the initiatives that IIUM organize was "Desa Sejahtera". What actually behind this project ? Desa Sejahtera consists of squatters neighborhood that located near to IIUM Main Entrance. There are various unsustainable development issues that are within the university capacity to help. Through this initiative, the university can practice and promote the real concept of Rahmatan lil 'Alamin. It also serves as a platform for students to really understand the concept, issues, and challenges of sustainable development through experiential learning. 

                This program start early of this year around March 2021. Many IIUM students  volunteer to join this program. So, they started to pack the food for them and provide a few house utensils like stove, dry food and others to distribute to all the villagers. 

                             


                Instead of that, there are many ways we can help this villagers to make them live in a better life. There are many programs and activities for them that already in the planning such as Gotong Royong, Tuition or Quran class for the children in that village and also organizing the awareness programs about hygiene, education and many more. In addition, there are also many programs that IIUM organize that involve the students and also community near IIUM location. 

                So, in my opinion, this programs should do every year in IIUM to make students have more understanding in solving sustainable development problems. Besides, students also can learn the reality of life and make them encourage to make a better life in the future. That's all from me for this time. 

Thank you ! 💥

                     Hyeee and I hope all of you have a good day ! On this blog I will share all the proposals and projects that come out from my classmates relating to sustainable development. All the projects are very interesting and beneficial for our life and our earth. Are you excited to here ? heheh let's go !                 First of all, the proposal of " Menstrual cloth reusable pads ".  Cloth pads mimic what women used historically and so are easy to adopt. Some have a foldable shape that does not resemble a pad when drying . Some  have an antimicrobial top layer for improved hygiene. They typically last for 12 to 24 months. Most are biodegradable. Lifecycle costs are significantly lower than disposable pads and they are easier to manage when compared to traditional cloth, although hygienic use still requires commitment to washing and drying. Around 12% of women in the UK  are estimated  to use reusable cloth pads. Ranges of “period pants” are also now on the ma

Before this class, I haven't heard anything related about this topic. So, let's go to the explanation about this topic.                  What is Sejahtera's Concept and Definition ? The origin of Sejahtera Concept since the first introduction, there are several attempts to identify the existence of SD within the local culture. Such identification necessary to ensure the relevancy of SD based on locality of the society and their culture. This perspective of SD is considered in the World Culture Report (UNESCO,1999) as "Culture shapes the way we see the world". It has the capacity to bring about the change of attitudes. Culture is a crucial key to solve this crisis However, UNESCO 2014 stated "Sustainable development cannot be achieved by technological solutions, political regulation or
