​Menggapai Impian 2009 (19 Nov 2009)

PETRONAS places great emphasis in undertaking its corporate social responsibility on the surrounding communities where it has its operations locally and abroad.

Similarly, the University shares the value espoused by PETRONAS and today, for the third time, it has taken the initiative to conduct a programme called ‘Menggapai Impian’ which is designed with the aim of enhancing the learning experience of the underprivileged in order for them to enjoy a better learning environment. This social initiative is similar to “Sentuhan Kasih’ programme initiated by PETRONAS. For this year, we have selected 104 students from three (3) orphanage and underprivileged centres, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-anak Yatim Dan Warga Miskin Bait Al-Amin, Parit, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-anak Yatim Precious Gift Home, Ipoh and Asrama Anak Yatim Darussalam, Simpang Pulai.

Under this initiative, UTP staff volunteers adopted a child before the school semester starts and sponsored the child with a minimum of RM100.00 in the form of stationeries, schoolbags, uniforms and shoes for the preparation for the new school semester. It is hoped that this contribution will lessen the burden of the homes and will spur the children to work harder.

This programme will also benefit the staff as one way to keep up with the spirit of sharing and giving to those in need.
