CANCER DAY

AMSA UPH's WORLD CANCER DAY 2012

Started with an idea from Internal’s division of AMSA UPH, all members of AMSA UPH should be active members and learn how to organize an event and so all members were divided into 3 teams and each team was given a different theme. These groups then divided into World Cancer Day, Tuberculosis Day or Earth & Health Day.

On 4^th February, World Cancer Day was marked to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. First, group 1 planned to hold this event on 17^th February 2012 while we will combine cancer day with valentine day. However, there’s another event on so this event was moved to 25^th February 2012.

In this opportunity, group 1 which are consist 20 members with 3 additional seats for another AMSA UPH members were celebrated this event on YKI (Yayasan Kanker Indonesia) at Lebak Bulus. In this event, there are cancer patient, cancer survivor and also the committee of YKI. Not only them, we also cooperated with the committee so all patients and survivors were brought one of their closest person to join this event.

We started this event with pray, then continued with first session which were consist of designed patchwork by each survivors and patients and made valentines card by their closest person. While they made their handmade, the committee from AMSA UPH joined them and so they could shared some of their struggle and their fights into this cancer.

This event was continued with second session which was decorated chiffon cake by survivor, patients and their closest person while they were divided into 3 small groups first. After finished their decoration, they were asked to write some wishes which was in our plan will be hanged on halogens balloons. Unfortunately, these halogens balloons could not afford the heaviness of all wishing cards so we burnt these wishing cards as a symbolic that this wishes already sent to God.

After finished all the main session, we arrived at the closing session which was handover valentine cards from the patients and survivors’ closest person to patients and survivor. Because of not all patients and survivors brought their closest person, the committee already made some cards for them so everyone still got valentine card. We also share all cakes that had been decorated before and took pictures of them.

 Overall, we can conclude that this event was run smoothly even though we only had a really short time to prepare this event and this is the first event conducted by some members. We learn lot of things from them like their fighting spirit and we could also give some care and concern for them. We hope this event will be one of the most memorable event for them like for us.

AMSA DETECTION 2012

AMSA DETECTION 2012

This year AMSA Detection was held at Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, from the 24^th-26^th February 2012. Some delegates from AMSA UPH participated; our very own President of AMSA, Nathania Sutisna, and along with some others, Patricia, Annisa Pramadi, Victor Christian,Tanessa Audrey, Immanuela Hartono, Josephine Dermawan, Keziah Tuerah, and Andrew Lukman. We were all welcomed there by our LO, Nathan Aditya Wilyanto. Which of all, everyone agreed to be the best LO ever (even if it is the first for some). There were many that participated, around 21 universities. Among all are the delegates from UI, UAJ, UGM, UNAIR, UKI, UB, and so much more. This AMSA Detection has 2 big main events, the Debate Competition and the Social Act. The Debaters from UPH were Annisa Pramadi, Immanuela Hartono, and Keziah Tuerah. The rest were delegates and were to participate in the Social Act.

The Debate Competition was fun and was a great experience even if we did not win. If  not mistaken there were approximately 26 debate teams, because some university sent out 2 teams. There were 6 rounds in the Debate Competition; two pre-eliminary rounds, one octo finals, one quarter finals, 1 semifinals, and finals.  We had the chance to debate against the host, UB B in our first pre-eliminary round and in the second pre-eliminary round, we faced UI A. In the first two rounds, points were accumulated, and the teams with higher points move on to the octo finals. UPH team surprisingly did get through to octo finals along with 15 other teams. In the rest of the rounds, once you lose the debate, you don’t go on. So in the octo finals we were up against Atma Jaya A (UAJ), and thank God we made it through. We got into the quarter finals along with 7 other universities. In the quarter finals we faced UMI, and there we lost. UMI later faced UNPAD, UNPAD won and on the other side, UI B faced UNHAS and UNHAS won. In the finals, it was UNHAS vs UNPAD, and at the end UNHAS took the crown. They deserved to win, they were really good informed debaters. The UPH team was pretty happy with the results, it was their first time debating together and never had the chance to practice before together as a team but they turned out to be a good and solid team.  Maybe next time we’ll bring something home for UPH. *fingers crossed*

While the Debate Competition was running, the other delegates were busy as well. They all were participating in the Social Act. In this Social Act, they visited a school, SMAN 4. There they held a seminar talking about BMI (Body Mass Index), obese and, healthy food and unhealthy food. After the seminar every student in the school was weight and their height was taken. Then their BMI was measured from the data taken, and also it was plotted to the growth chart by CDC. The diameter of the arms and waist were also measured. For those who turned out to be malnutrition, underweight, obese or PEM, were consulted by the doctors, and eventually being followed up by the doctors. This was a good thing, because we got to give something to the community through this social act. After the Social Act, the delegates got to experience different cultures and food from different areas, through “Javanese Cultural Fair”. There were many food and snacks from different areas, and they were some traditional dances you could try. According to one of the delegates, it was very fun.

After the final debate competition, everyone, the debaters, and the delegates all gathered together for the Farewell Party. Apart from being really exhausted after all the activities in the day, the Farewell Party was pretty refreshing. Getting to see some of the debate opponents not so in a “serious” mode as they sing and dance was good. It sort of changed your perspective about them.  You first see them as being the geeky, intimidating person, and then when you hear their voices and the song they sing, all are wowed.  It was a wonderful way to end the exhausting but fun day.

The next day it was recreation day.  Our LO brought us to shops that sold Malang’s traditional snacks then we went to this beautiful place to eat before we leave. The whole experience was so amazing. In all between the activities, we got to make lots of new acquaintance and try lots of new food. Its worth all the time spent. We definitely recommend others to participate in next year’s AMSA Detection!!!
