IOJ Volunteer Appreciation Day

IOJ Volunteer Appreciation Day, for UOW Malaysia KDU University College’s Youth Empowerment Plan, champion by Institut Onn Jaafar, held at UOW Malaysia KDU’s Utropolis Glenmarie campus.  IOJ patron Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein Onn officially launched the plan, together with UOW Malaysia KDU Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Hiew Pang Leang and Deputy Vice Chancellor of Academic Associate Professor Dr Hon Wei Min. The event saw almost 1,000 student-volunteers honoured for their participation in and contribution of IOJ’s JOM BEKPES morning soup-kitchen campaign, where volunteers served and ate breakfast with homeless people and underprivileged kids in Kuala Lumpur in 2016. As part of their commitment towards IOJ initiatives, UOW Malaysia KDU also pledged to channel its students taking Corporate Social Responsibility as a subject towards charity programmes organised by the NGO. UOW Malaysia KDU believes that one of the most vital traits of real world education in parallel with real world needs, is to work with surrounding communities.
