Volunteerism alive and kickin’ at Young Mercy

January 2008 welcomed the arrival of our first step in making a nationwide change. The start of our charity group, Young Mercy, meant that we would be taking part in one of the biggest volunteering and fundraising projects of our lives so far.
It is important to note us students are “true volunteers” -- we received no extra credit, no payment, only recognition and a true feeling of giving.
Over the next few months, various activities are planned and going to be carried out for charity & the environment. Zero ringgit goes to us or our university and we hope to inculcate our “ringgit a day” ideology into as many possible.
What’s in it for you? Buy our yummy icing-topped cupcakes, complete our brain bending crossword and even give us your trash! Show us your spirit of volunteerism today!
