“Pledge an organ, Save a life campaign”

The main objective of this project was to create awareness among the community of CUCMS regarding organ donation and dispel any misconceptions they may have on the issue. The project was an assignment given to the Moral Education students doing the MPW153 paper to inculcate values such as empathy, kindness towards those who are disadvantaged and less fortunate

The National Transplant Resource Centre (NTRC) lent us a hand by sending. Datin Dr Fadhilah Zowyah Lela Yasmin Mansor the chief coordinator of Pusat Sumber Transplan Nasional and a team over to the University for the event. The other VIPs included the president of CUCMS Tan Sri Dr. Johari Mat, the Provost Dr. Mohamad Salmi Mohd. Sohod, the academics as well as the administrative wing of the university.

The event began with speech from the organizing chairman of the event Mr Ashwin Dey followed by a welcoming speech by our president. Datin Dr Lela presented a heart-rendering talk on the futile plight of hundreds of patients awaiting organs donation and why this situation need not be so. The climax of this event saw a significant number of students signing up as organ pledgers on the stage witnessed by all. After the launch, booths were put up to register other would be donors. The booths operated until 4.00 pm. There were a total of 27 donors.

Everyone present benefited from the project as they gained valuable insights into organ donations. Participants learnt the plight of others and the call of those in need. Their kindness will benefit many in the near future and it will also indirectly improve the healthcare system in Malaysia . This project also gave the students the opportunity to inculcate values that parallels the motto of the university : Nurturing the Passion to Care.

The moral education class of May 2007 would like to thank everyone who made it possible for them to carry out this project successfully. Thanks are also due to the management of CUCMS for sponsoring the entire cost of this event.
