CURTIN VOLUNTEERS! SARAWAK CHAPTER



Curtin Volunteers (CV!) Sarawak chapter is a part of Curtin University of Technology, Sarawak Campus was started on the year of 2002. It is the largest student - run non-profit organization in Sarawak at this moment. Our main aim is to instill the spirit of volunteerism into our members. Our main activities throughout the year includes Blood Donation Drive, Used Clothes Campaign, John Curtin Charity Weekend, Beach Cleaning, CV! Gathering (Family Day) and any kind of fundraising event. Besides that, our main activity which was taking place for a few years is SOAR Advisor recruitment. SOAR (Student Orientation and Advisory Registration) Advisors are specially trained for the purpose of orientating the new students.
John Curtin Charity Weekend is our main activity as for the past a few years, we have been visiting this longhouses nearby. This is not only a fun activity, but also a learning experience as well as a golden charity moment for us. We learn about the cultures and traditions of the native people here in Sarawak which has the majority of the Ibans. This would be a very cherish moment especially for Curtin Sarawak's international students.
We are one of the main student run organization which do charity as our main purpose in Curtin Sarawak. We are looking foward for new members including the staffs. Our vision is to become the largest student-run non-profit organization in Malaysia.
