This event was successfully carried out from 14^th September to 16^th September 2009. It was held at the concourse area of Monash University Sunway Campus from 10.00am to 4.00pm.

The purpose of blood donation campaign was to increase awareness about the importance of blood donation and also to ease the blood supply of Pusat Darah Negara. There were 88 packs of blood collected throughout the blood donation drive.

The NKF mobile LifeCheck team was also invited to hold basic health screenings for the Monash community. The health screening programme comprised of the measurement of blood pressure, blood glucose, cholesterol level, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, urinalysis and counseling. There were as many as 219 staff and students who have participated in the health screening.

In addition, staff from the National Transplant Resource Centre was invited to promote the organ donation programme. This is to encourage and inform the staff and students about the importance of organ donation. Throughout the campaign, there was a total of 47 Monash staff and students who have pledged their organs.

A booth was also set up to fundraise for the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). NKF merchandise items such as mugs, towels, magnets, disposable thermometers, postcards and recycle bags as well as mooncakes were sold. A total amount of RM1211.70 has been collected from the sales and a donation box. This amount was fully donated to NKF.

Go Green Week

First up we had our Go Green Week on the 14 September to the 18 September 2009. It was to promote the goodness of recycling and to update our fellow students with the steps the world have taken in preserving and maintaining the thin balance in our world.
