31 DecThe Season 4’s Finale & Donation Campaign
On 5 December 2021, Dynamic Youth (DY) organised its last event of the season called “The Season 4’s Finale” before they transitioned into Season 5. The event is similar to a year-end party and the purpose of this event is to create an opportunity for all DY members, refugee students, and collaborators from various organisations to gather and to look back on what they have gone through or achieved during Season 4. DY also took this time to show their gratitude towards their collaborators who have helped them throughout the year by sending a box of cookies to each of them personally a few days before the event.
Since DY engages with the underprivileged community using sports educational programs, the theme of the Finale was set to be ‘football’ and the dress code was ‘sportswear’. As the finale was held virtually via Google Meet, DY also designed a virtual background for everyone to make it as if they were all on a football field!
The event kicked off with an icebreaker, some simple stretching, and a magic show. After that, a speech was given by the Project Leader of Season 4, Kingsly Cheah followed by a short video prepared by DY that served to recap all the events and activities carried out during Season 4. Next, a sharing session was conducted to gather feedback for Season 4 and to collect ideas for what can be done in Season 5. The participants were able to share their thoughts through verbal sharing as well as writing on a digital board, ‘Padlet’. The Finale then ended with a testimonial video prepared by DY, and lastly a group photo with everyone with their jerseys on!
There was a total of 19 DY members, 25 refugee students, and 9 collaborators from 6 organisations who participated in the Finale, and DY planned to make this event a regular tradition where it would be held at the end of each season.
In conjunction with the Finale, Dynamic Youth also organised a donation drive to put a smile on the faces of local communities, aligning to the mission of Gifts of Love and Care, an initiative by 五一吃瓜官网-SDG Sayangi Campaign, and the refugee communities engaged with DY. They have fundraised a total of RM1502.50 of which RM925 was fundraised from the public through the fundraising platform, Sedunia, RM300 by Dynamic Youth through The Season 4’s Finale, and RM277.50 is the 30% of total funds raised from the public that they promised to top up! The funds were allocated equally where 50% of the funds were contributed to the local communities and the other 50% to the refugee communities engaged with them.
