Recycling Project





Here in Cyberjaya University College of Medical Sciences, we try to shoot two birds with one stone. Apart from raising funds for our bigger Young Mercy project and also to contribute to the orphans, Young Mercy II recycling ambassadors are trying to cultivate the spirit of recycling among the students.



By placing information and recycling boxes in targeted areas of the university, we want to show that being medical students doesn’t rule out the responsibility to maintain the resources and health of Mother Earth.



By creating this awareness, we hope that students in the future will recycle the items appropriately not only in the university but also in the hostel and at home. We also hope they will do it not for the project alone but to be better residents of our planet.



We will also convey this message to people living in Cyberjaya, who may not be aware of the significance of recycling, especially in an area where there is not much government initiation of environmental projects.

Baking for Benefits

On Monday (18th February), everyone was talking about the delicious chocolate cookies and colourful cupcakes that they ate.
As it turned out, those cookies and cupcakes were made by the hardworking baking team of Young Mercy2 as a part of our fundraising project. The sale was a big success.
Not only that we got big profits but there were also donations from some buyers who loved the cookies and cupcakes so much. The motto of the team is ‘Support Us in Helping Others’.
Farhana Roslan, the girl behind the sweet idea, said that for every week, 3 members of YoungMercy2 will bake their own speciality. She also said that the baking experience taught the members about teamwork and being creative in raising funds for the humanitarian projects.
CUCMS residents are looking forward for more mouth-watering goodies in the weeks to come.





Try our homemade chocolate cookies.

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!

These are the projects that we are proposing to do:

Minor Activities:-

a) Collect recycling materials
