 We sponsored 5 units of air conditioners to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Dato' Bijaya Setia, Sungai Petani. They were installed at Block A, which is located near the main road. Due to noise and dust pollution, the windows cannot be opened and students have no other options to relocate. Hence, those classes needed the air-conditioning.     
 In addition to giving laptops, a projector, schools bags and stationery, the Micron Young Professionals have adopted the school and are tutoring the students in English, Mathematics and Science, carry out farming activities and mural-painting. Rotarians Arvind, Koek Yee Jeen and Dr Parthiban joined them to present aid to the students of Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Aman, which is a fishing community.        Micron School Outreach program repainted the mural on the retaining wall of SK Pulau Aman, Seberang Perai. Rotarian Prassana and family joined them in this project.
