It was an exciting experience for 41 Year Six pupils from Sekolah Kebangsaan Serandu in Pekan for they got to join their facilitators and Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) students for iftar in the university’s campus in Pekan on May 14, 2019. 
The pupils were participants of a programme called MyCilik Serandu, where they were given motivation and guidance in preparing for the public examination, Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR).

Their faces lit with joy and happiness upon having the chance to choose their own clothes for the coming Aidilfitri celebration.

They were 110 children aged between five and 17 who were orphans and from the asnaf group who were brought to shop at the Pasar Raya Hari-Hari under the ‘Ziarah Prihatin Aidilfitri Projek Baju Raya.’

Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) received a sum of RM130,000 from Etiqa, the insurance and takaful business of Maybank, which would bring joys and cheers to many of the undergraduates and the needy in the holy month of Ramadan.

The amount also involved allocations to be utilised for other community programmes such as aids for the asnaf group and the ‘Back-to-School’ programme that was scheduled at the end of the year.
