Euan Thum: Fundraising for Charisma Movement

I have previously worked with underprivileged children, and it constantly haunts me till this day knowing that all the potential I see in these kids are hardly given the chances to bloom. It is always a hard point for me to be with them, but I still enjoy the time I spend throughout as I get to share what I have seen with them, hoping to expand their horizons too. I am proud to have been a part of Charisma Movement which shares the same perspectives of empathy towards underprivileged children. The developing Covid-19 situation may have left many plans uncertain, but this shouldn't stop us from reaching out, being kind, and continuing our efforts in bridging the gap between the more fortunate and the less. I am now raising funds for Charisma Movement in support of its various projects conducted for the betterment of the community.


Who is Charisma Movement?
Charisma Movement is a youth-led organisation which offers opportunities to volunteer in various locations in Malaysia, tackling a range of fields from education, environment to activism and social inclusion. Notably, its Anak Malaysia Project (previously known as Project Teringai-Temunda) reaches out to primary school children in rural Sabah to inspire them like sprouting seeds, pushing them towards realising their potential. Wildlife Conservation Project (previously known as Project Penyu) brings volunteers to Terengganu for examining the habitats of turtles, fireflies, river terrapins and contributing in conserving the environment for them. As for Inspire Initiative, a platform for the general public to turn their ideas into a reality, we are proud to steer our focus in the direction of raising awareness for breast and ovarian cancers as well as palliative care, through our upcoming projects.

To thank you...
And as many may know, poetry has been my go-to way of self-expression from as early as late 2014. I would love to take this chance to promote the love for poetry- an art I pursue, to thank you for monetarily contributing in helping us strengthen the framework of volunteerism in Malaysia.

For kind-hearted souls contributing RM20/GBP5 or above, I will gift you an E-copy of one self-written poem, beautifully designed.

For generous souls contributing RM50/GBP10 or above, I will gift you an E-copy of the exclusive extended version of my first poetry collection titled CHECKMATE, which comprises 20 self-written poems (4 more than the ordinary version).

If your amount of donation meets any of the criteria above, please fill up this super short google form to help me keep track of your email address. Thank you!

Note: Fundraising period is from the 11th of May 2020 to the 9th of June 2020.

The Human Being—A Complex Organism

Human beings are complex and special organisms as there is a complex organisation of cells in the human body. The organisation in the human body is summarised as follows: Cells—> Tissues—> Organs—> Systems—> Organism.   The same type of cells which carry out a specific function are organised into a tissue. For examples, a group of muscle cells form a muscle tissue while a group of nerve cells form a nerve tissue. They are organised to work together to perform specific functions as the result of cells in the human body do not work individually.     An organ is a group of tissue that cooperates to carry out a specific life process. For examples, a group of muscle tissues, epithelial tissues and connective tissues form blood vessels. Several organs are organised into a system. Each system consist of several organs which are organised to carry out life processes such as respiration, reproduction and digestion.     Various systems in th...

I am Euan Thum. This is my story.

No one is born a leader, but no one is born to stay shy and quiet forever too. I was a timid and unconfident boy who grew to celebrate individuality.  I discovered my passion in poetry in high school and I never stopped exploring what I can create. I co-founded a society in college to share the love for poetry and had organised poetry recitals to help others discover its beauty. My poems have now been featured in several international publications and journals.  During the global pandemic, I released two poetry collections for charity, which have raised more than RM1k combined! Poetry was an incredible flotation device and artistic outlet for me during the pandemic, and being able to share my art with the world allows me to connect with others in ways I never imagined before.  Over the years, I became committed to enrich the community around me through volunteering and fundraising. This propels me towards fighting for important causes in our society including wildlife con...

Working With Passion

I've long worked behind the lens. When I started experimenting with photography almost a decade ago, I was heavily criticised for the wrong angles, the misfocused subjects, and my pointless artistry. I tried and tried without proper equipment or professional guidance, but the determination to validate my photography skills had kept me going against the currents of criticism. In the midst of helping others 'capture a moment', as I would call it, I saw myself starting to request for similar photos to be taken for me, in hopes of keeping memories of my own in photographs. One person told me once, 'You're kinda like a model'. That was about 4 years ago, when I had finished high school for a couple of months. My hair was flowing a little freer than before and I had more time on my hands to run around Johor Bahru with my friends, looking for adventures and photoshoots. That 5-word line was an inspiration I did not see coming. In fact, I did not realise it had done the...
