AS-SALAM BAN NUA. HERE WE COME AGAIN!

Continuing the legacy of the seniors before them, MISDEV'14 (ISDEV Postgraduate by Mixed-mode) students have been assigned to organize an empowering program aimed at the grass root level of the Ban Nua community in Thailand. With a theme on "Empowering Community for Development" activities such as gotong royong, the proper way to wear the hijab and a friendly football match have been lined-up for the Ban Nua 5.0 programme. The 3-day-2 night programme runs from 21 November 2014 until 23 November 2014  .

A total of 2 buses had been especially chartered for the trip to Thailand. Delegates assembled at Padang Kawad PALAPES (PALAPES Marching Field), Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) before heading for Thailand at 8.00 a.m. As the obligatory is not neglected, ISDEV delegates performed Solat Jumaat at Masjid Sadao in Sadao Thailand.
