Mercy keen on recruiting more young volunteers
KUALA LUMPUR: Mercy Malaysia will focus on projects at home to achieve a higher level of expertise in medical relief work and encourage more youth to volunteer, said its president Datuk Dr Jemilah Mahmood.
“We have organised monthly outreach programmes, which include medical, dental and public health services in the interior of Sabah and Sarawak.
“We would like to see more participation of young volunteers,” she added after receiving a RM5,000 cheque from the association of women journalists (Pertama) for the Mercy Humanitarian Fund.
Pertama was represented by its secretary Bahara Kamarak and treasurer Fadzillah Haron.
Dr Jemilah said Mercy's Volunteer Department was active in recruiting students from universities, such as Universiti Teknologi Mara and Multimedia University, and colleges to become associate members of the organisation.
