Spring Board Motivational Talk

Our first outdoor activity - Spring Board Motivational Talk was held on 22 May 2010. Special thanks to Mr Azdy (speaker), Ustaz Jamil & Mr Azri from Sheikh Tahir Observatory who help to make this event a success. And of course to all the volunteer. :)

The event start a bit late due to some technical problem but alhamdulliah everything went smooth after that. It was attended by 13 kids from Nasyiatul Aisyiah - 8 primary school & 5 high school student. The primary kids of course excited with this activity but abang2 yg high school initially seems to be in paksa-rela mode. Anyway, as the talk started, Mr Azdy able to gain the interest from the kids with his humorous approach. Before we know the kids already started enjoying themselves.

It started with Ustaz Jamil opening the ceremony with doa followed by Mr Azri gave some introduction regarding Sheikh Tahir Observatory. He also touch a little bit regarding Astronomi. Then there is a short video regarding a man born legless & handless but able to live his life to fullest. After the video, Rafeek gave some summary on the video. Then the majlis is pass to Mr Azdy. During his talk, he touch on the important of "no give up" attitudes, the reason why we should strive for better education & why/how to success. Beside motivational talk, Mr Azdy also shared a few tips on memorizing keywords, multiplcation etc . There is a few games to keep the kids awake & interested.

At the end, the kids are given opportunity to see the sun but we are a bit unlucky that all the telescope were brought out that day for some exhibition outside so we just settle with a smaller viewing device ( x ingat apa nama dia) to see the sun. Maybe next time we can arrange another trip to see the star :). Then we proceed for some tour for the observatory before end the day.
