Throughout June 2022, the AUSMAT Student Council had organized a virtual run event, Run for Rhinos (R4R). With the tagline Don’t Let Rhinos become Dinos, the run has one main objective; to raise funds in support of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and their rhino conservation efforts. RFR is AUSMAT’s one of many events in line with the Sustainable Developmental Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing and SDG 15: Life on Land.

There has been a significant rise in the population of stray animals in Malaysia during this Covid-19 pandemic. One of the reasons is that many strays are usually neglected and grow without proper care which led to a population increase substantially. The number of strays has risen since the pandemic and thus far, little has been done to manage the strays. Therefore, rooted in the desire to make a change, Team Pawsome collaborated with the Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) Malaysia; a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that is a KL-based volunteer animal welfare group that works with local communities that managed the community strays since 2012. Due to the decline in donations TNRM’s pressing need was to cover their operational cost amounting to RM10K+.

This opens tremendous potential for our youth to share their technology savviness for the betterment of society and improving financial inclusion.
