02 November 2009 (Monday) - Some 40 volunteers from the UBD Volunteering and Charity Club (UVC) gathered at Pantai Jerudong yesterday for a beach cleaning campaign. The activity was lead by UVC's Project Planner (Environment) cum Environmental Advisor, Liaw Lin Ji.

Prior to the cleaning activity, the volunteers were divided into two teams where one team was in-charge of any recyclable rubbish while the other was the non-recyclables. The campaign was organised by UVC as a concluding activity of the semester before the busy exam week.
The activity also saw several new faces and the club's Chairperson, Adibah Hamdani who said that she was overwhelmed with the support given and their presence was greatly appreciated. Meanwhile the Vice Chairperson, Atiqah Raduan added that there are still interested students who would like to join UVC and the club is still welcoming more volunteers to join in as members.

Members of the public who happened to be there to enjoy the sunset also joined UVC for the good cause and show their care towards the cleanliness of our beach. Refreshment packs were later distributed to all volunteers. The event ended at a high note with a "Go UVC!" group cheer.
Team work: alone we do so little, but together we can achieve more!
