UIU Haiti Relief Fund

Fayette House members who were involved in the noble cause.

In support of the "UIU Haiti Relief Fund" in Fayette, Iowa, SEGi Subang Fayette House headed the fundraisers in the Subang campus. Together with Communication Club and AVES of ADP, and Student Council of SEGi College Subang Jaya, money was raised in February to help the earthquake victims of Haiti.

Way before any fund-raising activities took place, Fayette House set up a notice board next to cafeteria at 1st Floor to create awareness among college students on the catastrophe that hit Haiti. Upon getting the permission from the college authority, Fayette House went class to class to collect donations from ADP students, besides offering RM1 to the relief fund for every UIU car sticker sold. The response for both donation collection and car sticker promotion was overwhelming. As for Communication Club, the club conducted a two-day charity car wash! Not forgetting, AVES and Student Council allowed Fayette House to leave donation jars at their Valentine's Day booth.

Guess what?! We raised a total of RM714 for the earthquake victims of Haiti! A big thank you to every contributor!

In conjunction with Chinese New Year, Fayette House members decorated Fayette House at 1st Floor and ADP counter at 10th Floor, two weeks before the celebration. Mandarin oranges were also served to visitors at Fayette House.

Today when college resumed after the students were off for Chinese New Year break, Fayette House celebrated Chinese New Year in college. Pete the Peacock was seen in 10th Floor, giving out 'ang pao' (red packets) to ADP staffs and students. Among the committee members of Fayette House, there was a yee sang session. It was a great celebration and hopefully that would bring a terrific year to everyone in ADP!

Fundraising for Furry Friends Farm 2010

Fayette House members at fund-raising booth.

One of the students of American Degree Program (ADP) was involved with a fund-raising project for Furry Friends Farm, a NGO shelter for abandoned dogs and cats; the shelter is governed by Raleigh International KL. Her team planned to fund-raise through sales in colleges and so she approached Fayette House for support to sell foods and drinks in SEGi College Subang Jaya. In line with Fayette House's objectives to serve the students of ADP in any way possible, Fayette House supported the event.

On 20th and 21st January 2010, team Delta of Furry Friends Farm set up booth at 1st Floor of college. Among the foods on sale were assorted breads and ABC (ice kacang), besides their top-sale item, bubble tea! A few Fayette House members helped out with the sale by pulling in crowds and helping with the making of bubble tea; it was a fun-filled experience! The fund-raiser was worth the effort because at the end of the two-day fund-raiser, the cause was a big success!

Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service 2010

Fayette House members at booth.

In an effort to make studies in Malaysia more American for the students of American Degree Program (ADP), Fayette House celebrated Martin Luther King's Day in college on 18th Jan 2010.

Besides playing videos of Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech, informative fliers on the legendary figure were distributed to students as well. But the highlight of the celebration was having booth visitors write their dreams on memo pads provided, to be shared with everyone in college. "Dreams" shared included academical wishes, like 'obtaining GPA of 4.0', and random wishes, like 'marrying Miley Cyrus'. With no doubt, it was an interesting celebration.

The Freshmen from January 2010 Intake, senior Peacocks and Fayette House members who took part in Freshie Party Spring 2010 had a real blast. Although the party was just a simple party with simple games and activities, it was simply awesome! Everybody not only left with more friends, everybody left with a smile too. And that was the whole point of the event; to make new friends and to have fun.
