MIKI CAMP SURVIVAL CHALLENGE! ACCEPTED! Total of 13 lecturers, 2 librarians, and 1 support staff trekked their way

through the jungle and stayed there for three days two nights. The journey began on the 5 February when all the staff gather at A.T.I.C to board our
ride to Kampung Kiau. The journey to Kampung Kiau takes roughly around 1 hour and 30 minutes from Kota Kinabalu. After everyone had arrived, the
trekking began at 11 a.m. along with three guide; Sadib Miki, Suning Taradas, and Jimmy Ginsos. The journey took roughly 1 ½ hours to arrive at the
Miki Campsite. Not only we had to trek the jungle, but, we walked through rivers, hanging bridge, and fight our ways through the jungle with leeches.
After everyone had settled down, the lunch was serve. After lunch, the guide showed everyone around the camp, how the indigenous
people make traps from natural resources, the day ended with a fun time in the river followed by delicious dinner cooked by t he villagers. Even
though there were not any modern lights available at night, but it did not stop the fun. The staff surrounded around the campfire and had a
wonderful fellowship amongst each other. Everyone retreated to their slumber world early as the next morning, there were more to learn.
Birds chirping and breeze blowing to the face greeted everyone in the morning. After breakfast, everyone suited themselves for the
morning jungle trekking with the guides. The guides were showing the magnificent and the marvelous characteristics of Mother Nature and how
important it is to keep it intact. It is also one of the reasons they had to set up the camp in the first place. After lunch, the guides showed how to
make basic necessities’ using bamboos and woods from the jungle. They shared how they use ‘sumpit’ to shoot animals, and how to catch river crabs
with a little pieces of chicken meat tied to a young bamboo shoot. That night, after dinner, the atmosphere was very warm even though that night
was cold. Everyone gather around the campfire one more time as we drank, had little snacks, talk, share jokes, and play guessing games.
The following morning, everyone packed their bags with heavy hearts. On 9 a.m., the guides took us and began our journey back to the
reality world. It was indeed a memorable trip and experience for each and every one.

Let’s Give Back!

If you ever wondered how you can help or contribute to the well-
being of the community, this might give you a hint! 3. Donate. Anonymous said, “I

1. Become a volunteer. Instead of complaining and posting how give because I know what it’s
bored you are every weekend on your social media account, why like to have nothing”. If you
not sign up as a volunteer? It’s an opportunity for you to gain new donated your blood during the
experiences and at the same time, a good way to kill times. For Blood Donation event held by the
example, on the 28th September 2013, 4 students from our college Student Council sometimes in
volunteered at SPCA KK (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to March, or contributed some
Animals, Kota Kinabalu) located at Jalan Lomunu Penampang. If money to the students of DTM
you’re interested, you may login to their website at www.spcakk.org 05/12 for their class project, then
for further information. Once they receive your information or gives yourself round of applause
inquiry, the respective heads of their committee will contact you. because you’re a kind human
being. When the students of DTM
05/12 went from class to class
collecting donation, they
informed that it will be donated
to an Old Folks Home in Foh
Sang. However, all donations
money was eventually used to
buy daily necessities such as
diapers, foods and educational
items that were later being
donated to Taman Didikan
Kanak-Kanak Kurang Upaya,
Sembulan on the 08th March
2014.

2. Do a charity. Oscar Wilde, an Irish writer and a poet quoted “The

smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention”.
Not everyone is born lucky. Some suffer physical disabilities, born
with illness and some simply couldn’t afford for themselves. And
there’s always ways to help them. The final semester students of
DEM 04/12 & DEM 05/12 prove that “when there’s a will, there’s a
way”. They have organized a charity visit to Don Bosco Children’s
Home, Bundu Tuhan Ranau on the 08th – 09th March 2014.
