After watching a comedy film 'Mr.Bean', the participant will have a chance to answer some questions in a little quiz at the emd of the movie. The quiz met some difficulties because some participants have speaking or hearing difficulties so they cannot participate. Some participant also performed a little show, like singing or playing music instruments.

The outreach is both interesting and challenging because this is the first event that allows  us to interact with mentally disabled people. Sharing the day with them made us realize that there are many things in our life we should be thankful for. They taught us many things, they taught us about life.

The Groups

It is during the mini game where everyone seems to be enjoying themselved and gets to know with their members’ quite well. The part that birngs everyone together is the part where each group had to figure out the clues given because it requires everyone to participate and put their ideas. The aim of these games is not to win but to get everyone to know each other and build a feeling of togetherness with all members. 

Basically, the Welcoming Party was a success and we believed that this year’s AMSA UPH will be better than it already is.
