Curtin Volunteers! done it once again!
Sunday 15th September 2008 -
The Curtin Volunteers! (CV!) Sarawak Chapter, a student-run not-for-profit organization of Curtin University of Technology, Sarawak Campus has done it once again with success in their fundraising project with the theme, “We Love, We Care” at Bintang Plaza, Miri yesterday afternoon.
This event started exactly at 11am with no delays and started off with an awesome magic show that attracts the attention of the crowd into the event. Both the game booths and donation boxes manage to help Palliative Care Association Miri gathered a great deal of fund. With the huge support from the participating club and the caring public, the Curtin Volunteers! are able to achieve the target by collecting a total amount of RM 1718.88 for the Palliative Care Association Miri. This fund will help lighten the financial burden of Palliative Care Association Miri which caters for a lot of patients annually.
During the closing ceremony, Yang Berhormat Lee Kim Shin, Assistant Minister of Infrastructure development and Telecommunications has given much emphasis on health care in his speech. He reminded the people that we are to be more health conscious and he also mentioned that cancer is slowly becoming a top fatality cause in Malaysia.
On behalf of Palliative Care Association Miri, the Curtin Volunteers! would like to give our greatest thanks to the Management of Bintang Plaza, Dynasty Hotel, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (Bintang Plaza), Nestle Pte. Ltd. and to all those who contributed in one way or another to this fundraiser.
