Desa IT Sarawak 2013
In 2012/2013 series of Desa IT, the team led by Mr. Zaheen b Bakar decided to choose Kg. Tambirat, Asajaya, Kuching, Sarawak as the venue for this year. The village which is located 45-mins away from Kuching city center is situated near Sarawak River and the population is dominated by Malay race.
This year, we had the opportunity to board on a military flight owned by Tentera Udara DiRaja Malaysia (TUDM) called Charlie-130 or C-130. This is a great experience to the participants of Desa IT because this kind of chance never come often.
Two school were targeted this year, SRK Tambirat and SMK Tambirat 2 were chosen for the team to conduct their modules with UPSR and SPM students. For UPSR students, they were taught math and english modules consisting of tips and tricks to tackle questions in examination. For SPM students, they were given some motivational talk and sharing session with the seniors and also they were given a basic Microsoft Excel and Photoshop workshop conducted by the team of Desa IT Sarawak.
Other than that, religious talk and Kenduri Sekampung was held on the 3rd day while Sukan Rakyat and Malam Kebudayaan were held on the 4th day. This activities are conducted in order to promote togetherness among participants and villagers. The team also visited the house of asnaf (poor people) where they help to clean up their house and give some monetary contribution that they received from sponsors.
To mark the end of Desa IT, participants were brought to visit Cultural Village to learn more about the wide diverse races in Sarawak. All in all, this program which took 9 days has ended with alot of success and we hope that this kind of event would give a big impact toward the society.
