"We serve to assist. Volunteering for a better future."

Something to ponder...

Every one of us can make a contribution. And quite often we are looking for the big things and forget that, wherever we are, we can make a contribution... just imagine what's happening if there are billions of people out there doing something. Just imagine the power of what we can do."

~ Wangari Maathai

6 November 2009 (Friday) - Ten students from UBD Volunteering and Charity Club (UVC) were sponsored by the Royal Brunei Airlines to a charity event, "Seeing is Believing" which was organised by the Standard Chartered Bank Brunei.

The event, which took place at the Hua Ho Manggis Ballroom, was graced by HRH Prince Haji Abdul Azim and HRH Princess Fadzillah Lubabul Bulqiah. Interestingly, that afternoon also saw half of the attendees wearing masks which covered their eyes and at the same time enjoying their tea while being guided.

Ms Yasmin, a representative from RBA Frequent Flyer Programme, said that by attending such event will mark one of UVC's small contributions towards a better future. Meanwhile the members of UVC expressed their utmost appreciation to RBA for the ticket sponsorships.

FAQs

Q. Is the club still open for new members to register?
A. We are actually welcoming more people to register to our club as members (volunteers) and thus, registration is still open.

Q. May I know the number of attendances that are required to obtain the certificate?
A. Despite the registration is still open, there is actually a required three times attendance for members to obtain a certificate. Nonetheless since the club is all about volunteering and charity, we encourage members who doesn't fulfill this three times attendance to join our activities nevertheless (especially during the December semester break). So start counting your attendances by next semester to receive a certificate of appreciation from us!

*In addition, there is supposedly a club registration fee of $4, however we will not collect any for this semester (semester one, 09/10). Payments will only start by next semester (semester two, 09/10) and compulsory to all members.

Q. Are there any activities during the semester break?
A. InsyaAllah, there are actually some planned activities for members to participate. If everything goes smooth, then we will further notify all members through e-mail and our blog.

Q. UVC and PMUBD volunteers are different right?
A. True enough, UVC and PMUBD volunteers are different but our aims and objectives are parallel to each other. On a lighter note, UVC acts as a platform for all UBDian volunteers to gather, share and exchange information. The establishment of the club is also aimed to "register" volunteers in UBD for easy contact in any event where their commitments are needed. Likewise, our club supports every event organised by PMUBD (the student's council) and if they are in need of volunteers, UVC is responsible to help in anyway we can.

We hope that we have answered your questions accordingly. For further inquiries and information, please do not hesitate to contact us via blog and e-mail (uvcvolunteers.blogspot.com & uvcvolunteers@gmail.com)
