~Welcome to SEED Initiative Blog~

Hola 2009!!

It has been a long pause since the last time I posted something up here. Well, since it’s the New Year, let me begin first by conveying my very best wishes from SEED Initiative to all of you out there t o have a enjoyable and fulfilling year in 2009. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Goodbye 2008! Let us welcome the year 2009 with open hearts and renewed courage to face whatever that has in store for us in this New Year.

In December, the SEED Initiative has organized a SEED Training Camp at the USM Guest House in Penang to build bonds among the organizing committee members and also of course, to deepen our knowledge in social entrepreneurship. We had various sessions in the camp. Sessions about Social Entrepreneurship, ice-breaking, team-building, marketing and also project planning sessions were conducted by invited speakers, Encik Nasir Sabri & Cik Siti Huraizah from Pusat Internet Desa, our Project Director, Andy and also our lovely interns, Miek from The Netherlands and Susan from Australia. Thanks to them, we are now more knowledgeable about the issue on social entrepreneurship and also better prepared to organize the upcoming SEED Conference in May 2009.

This camp has really brought all of us together. We played Mafia together, spend sleepless nights pillow-talking, laughed together and our direction in 2009 is now set on the same path. We enjoy working together as a team and it is the hope of every of us to see the SEED Conference 2009 become a reality and a success.

Now, most of us are back to UUM. Really looking forward to our next committee meeting. Till then, See ya!!
