NYPMS Network supports the existence of the Tertiary Muslim Students Network (TMSN). As such, a handful of us were more than eager to participate in the camp entitled, "A Journey To Become A Rawahil", conducted by TMSN with the huge support of MUIS and Asian Leaders Network. This camp was aimed towards the exco members of the 7 muslim societies within TMSN.

A rawahil is a traveller. As human beings on earth, we are likened to a traveller on our temporary journey on this earth. We are honoured to have a distinguished speaker from Australia, Dr. Zachariah Matthews as our main speaker for the camp. A pharmacist by training, Dr. Matthews is very active in the da'wah scene in Australia.

Througout the 2 days, 2 nights camp, we were served with lectures touching on leadership and da'wah. We also got a little insight of the da'wah scene in Australia.

There was also a mini-forum session entitled, "Story of Little Red Dot - How Singapore Expand Her Influnece. The panelists were the likes of Dr. Albakri and Ustaz Hannan. This helped to contextualize our the da'wah efforts in our local environment.

We also broke off into groups to have a heart to heart interview session with some people who have been very active in the local activist scene. We got some tips and were motivated to continue to strive for excellence of our community.
