Qurban Programme in Baling, Kedah

Student Affairs Department had organized the Qurban Programme in Baling, Kedah as a community engagement programme for AIU students, on the 1st August 2020. Since we are still under precautionary measures due to the pandemic of the COVID-19, strict SOPs set by the Government need to be followed in doing the Qurban and thus only a small group of students will be selected for this programme. The selection of students was limited to 20 students to represent AIU.

AIU contributed three cows which had been distributed to the nearest surau and mosque in three kampungs in Baling.

Philanthropic Spirit!

Recently, AIU Language Centre was proud to receive information that a few of our former students from the English for Academic Success Programme 2018 got together to donate a water pump and well to a village in Bihar, India. The donation was made in the name of three of our late students (Omar Al-Haj from Syria, Camilla Cut Wan from Indonesia and Raymond Diallo from Guinea), and also all AIU students.

We are certainly proud and inspired by this gesture, which is a wonderful example to others of the beauty of human kindness, social awareness and philanthropic spirit.
