In early 2010 IPSF ocially established a collaborative relationship with Green Lung. Wait! Green Lung? Is itsomething that deals with environmental advocacy? Indeed it does, but to a certain extent. Green Lung doesnot only advocate or a healthy environment, but also a healthy liestyle. Green Lung is a Malaysian youth-runorganization, which advocates or tobacco-ree environment by mobilising, engaging and empowering youthsto advocate and walk together towards a smoke-ree environment.In May 2009, a workshop sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) was organized by the Clear-inghouse o obacco Control o Malaysia National Poison Center with the aim o orming a group o under-graduate pharmacy students rom Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to be active in tobacco control. In July

2009, Green Lung made its debut in USM by organizing its rst ever awareness campaign on campus. Sincethen Green Lung has gathered more than 300 members not only rom the pharmacy school but also romother universities and organisations. Within a year, Green Lung spread across ve universities in Malaysia;these include: Universiti Malaya, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa and Univer-siti eknologi MARA. In February 2010, Green Lung signed a Memorandum O Understanding with IPSF andthis marked the ocial collaboration between Green Lung and IPSF in creating and promoting smoke-reeinitiatives amongst IPSF’s communities.Non Government Organisations (NGO) involved in tobacco control was not new to Green Lung. What makesGreen Lung special or dierent rom all other NGO? Firstly, this organisation is the pioneers o a youth-runorganization or tobacco control. Because o this, we understand youths the best. We have always believed thatyouths possess the greatest capacity to change the world because they have the craziest ideas and the most crea-tivity in the world. But how many youths out there have the passion or such an organisation?Let’s share with you Green Lung’s philosophy – Mobilize, Engage and Empower. People especially youthsalways want to eel a sense o belonging and signicance, thereore by mobilising and engaging your targetaudience they would eel that they belong. Next and most importantly, empower your audience so that theirroles are signicant to the causes. Once their attention and interest has been piped up they will be more thanenthusiastic to partake in a anti-tobacco campaign.Apart rom this, what makes us dierent rom other tobacco control groups is that our ocus is not on smokersas this area has been well taken care o, but instead the non-smokers o our society. Everyone is well inormedabout the dangers o smoking but how many o us realize that secondhand smoke does just as much harm tonon-smokers? Green Lung’s role is to provide the community with evidence-based inormation in the hope o

creating awareness concerning the dangers o secondhand smoke. We hope to mobilise volunteers and providea platorm or them to express their views against smoking. We hope to empower them as the agents o changeso they will spread the inormation to their peers and consequently a chain reaction will take place. At the endo the day, we wish to break the perception that ‘smoking is normal’.

Trough many generations, Indonesian has been de-veloping both remedy and cosmetic brews rom many indigenous plants or animals that were believed by the ancestors to have healing eects on diseases orbeautiy physical appearance. Used by royal am-ily in Keraton (palace), the brew, called Jamu, hadlimited access to be used by common people. Now-adays, the use o Jamu has been being fourished

and consumed by most o Indonesian to maintainhealth and beauty remembering its ‘magical eect’not only by royal amily but also common people. Indonesian scientists realize that this tradition isn’t justtradition. Jamu is the symbolism o health and is beingstudied to become a clinical approved medicine sinceIndonesia has an abundance o natural herbal resourc-es. Tat’s why lecturers’ team o Pharmacy University

Padjadjaran Indonesia held an event to explore Jamuscientically. Tis great idea bears the event o the In-ternational and Seminar Expo on Jamu (ISEJ) that washeld on 5th-6th November 2010 at Graha Sanusi o Pad-jadjaran University in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. A poster exhibition was held at ISEJ on the researcho herbal plants and animals and its ecacy to body.

Te poster exhibition participants not only showedtheir research poster, but they also had to presentand explain their researches to the other participants.

So, thats all about the excitements rom 1st ISEJ Padjad-jaran University Indonesia. Hopely this report will giveyou new inormation about Indonesian remedy andcosmetic heritage o Jamu. Please come to Indonesia andjoin the next International Seminary and Expo on Jamu!

Te SEP experience in Japan certainly enriched my undergraduate experience. Not only was I able to gainmore knowledge about medical science, I was also ableto learn more about Japan through interactions with the

Japanese students. Te program placed as much ocuson cultural experience as it did on academic learning,and I would recommend it to anyone who is seeking aSEP destination that is balanced on these two aspects.

I was placed at two research laboratories duringmy practice: one was at an immunobiochemistry laband the other was at a lab that studied health eects o nanoparticles. Te members o these labs were all very patient and helpul when it came to explaining theirexperiments and protocols. Despite the act that they

were not accustomed to giving explanations in English,they tried very hard to overcome the language barrier.I was touched by their eorts to clariy concepts or mewith diagrams, demonstrations, and sometimes body language. At the nanoparticles lab, I was able to learnabout the newest nanoparticle technologies as well asthe concerns about nanoparticles pollutants rom topproessors and researchers in Japan. I also had the op-portunity to see common assays such as microarray andELISA being run. At the immunobiochemistry lab, Iwas allowed to perorm certain lab techniques mysel. Iwas able to perorm a gel electrophoresis, Western Blot,and conocal microscopy, and another internationalstudent got to do HPLC and LC in her lab. I alsowitnessed a rat dissection, which was something I had

never seen beore. What I appreciated most, however,was that I wasn’t simply given a set o instructions toollow when perorming a technique. Te sta mem-bers ensured that I understood the purpose o each step

and the ultimate goal o the experiment. I was extreme-ly thankul or this because personally, this kind o understanding was essential or me to ully enjoy what Iwas doing.

As mentioned, the SEP in Japan was plannedin such a way that exchange students would also havethe chance to immerse themselves in Japanese culture.Exchange students were able to experience daily lie ina Japanese amily through homestaying. At the sametime, we were happy to share stories about our own

countries with our host amilies. During the days o theprogram where there was no lab practice scheduled,exchange students enjoyed sightseeing with ellows stu-dents o APS. Tis year, some o the places we went toinclude a rework estival, Mount Fuji, the Ghibli Mu-seum, Nikko, Harajuku, and Ikebukuro. We also took a 3-day trip to the Kansai region o Japan. Tere, wevisited the ancient temples and shrines o Kyoto as wellas the inamous Osaka Castle. I I had to point out oneminor imperection, it would be the summer climatein Japan. Japan is very hot and humid in August, and Iwould advise uture exchange student to come preparedor this. Aside rom this, I can assure that anyone whocomes to this beautiul country with an open mind willleave with a very positive experience.

BeautifulJapan!

SEP in Canada has been one o the preciousmemories in my lie.

I chose a pharmacy in oronto or SEP and Istayed in the residence o University o oronto whichwas only 10 minutes away rom the pharmacy that Ihave been working at. When I landed in oronto, I waslled with ears since everything was unamiliar to me.However, right aer I met the student who came to theairport to pick me up, I realized the ears I had were alluseless. She was kind and nice. She helped me to placemy things in the residence and gave me a quick touraround the University. She also took me to the pharma-cy that I will be working at to let me know the location.

Even though it was the rst time or me work-

ing at the pharmacy, the pharmacist inormed me abouteverything that I needed to know in order to work atthe pharmacy (blister packs, mixture, dierent drugsino etc.). I worked 4~5days a week and usually hadweekends o. She also drove me out to the suburb andhad me introduced to her riends and enjoyed a estivaltogether.

I also had chance to hang out with the phar-macy students at University o oronto. Almost every weekend they took me to dierent restaurants and

places to look around. Since the period that I was in

oronto was summer, lots o estivals were going on sowe could enjoy dierent estivals together. I also hadchance to meet other exchange student in oronto. Weboth as oreigners in oronto, could share dicultieswe had and also went or a city tour together when wehad time.

I got to know many dierent students throughthis SEP and was a great experience or me to knowwhat pharmacy is like, dierent curriculums in phar-macy school, and dierent work areas or pharmacistin Canada. Lastly I want to say special thanks to thepharmacist since she overlooked my mistakes in phar-macy, oered me lots o chances to participate dierentactivities that I can do aer work, and cared about me

thoughtully while I was in oronto.I want to tell students who hesitate to partici-

pate SEP, that she/he should bravely throw themselvesinto this great opportunity to learn and earn variety o things. You will denitely earn more than you think. Isay SEP is really a recommendable activity in school liewith no doubt.

PreciousCanada!
