A noble act from Sunway CIMP students

Sunway’s Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) students exercised their management skills through a one day charitable fundraiser as part of the requirement of their Business Leadership Management Fundamentals (BLMF) subject. 55 students used their management knowledge to create a company and sold unique products during a sale at the Energy Hub at Sunway College recently.

CIMP students raise RM2, 500 for charity home

Synergy combined with energy produced a fruitful result as Sunway College’s Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) students charitable fundraiser managed to accumulate RM2,500 for the Pusat Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Cacat Taman Megah (Taman Megah Disabled Children’s Home). The entrepreneurial and management skills of the 70 students from the Business Leadership Management Fundamentals (BLMF) class were put to test as they developed unique products such as handmade accessories, piggy banks, badges, cultural goods, fresh fruits and delicious baked goods during the 2-day charity sale in Sunway College.

Mr. John Futa, V. Baskar, Tham Thin Yin, Lecturers Liz Erskine and Dave Leonard from the Business Leadership course.

Angelina Saw Mei Yi, a BLMF student shared, “We started preparations for the charity sale 2 months in advance by conducting surveys and analysing the response towards our potential products in order to meet quality standards and customer needs. Everything had to be done with precision to ensure a smooth flow of business. We created handmade products in line with the findings from our reports in order to link the practical part of our work with what we’ve learnt in class with the theory of management functions, crucial for a business to operate.
