Driven to Heal the World

Written by: Ann Teoh

The delegates

They come from similar backgrounds: being raised and bred in the city, smart and educated in KDU College, all with one goal – to earn their degrees and carve splendid careers of their dreams.

They were selected to attend a University Scholars Leadership Symposium in Malacca (from 1st – 7th August 2010), and they were very much impacted by life-sharing experiences of human trafficking, extreme poverty, abandoned and abused children.

They came away from the symposium very much touched, renewed, and driven with a personal vision: to serve society with their talents, compassion and the determination to make this a better place, and to “heal the world”, as sung by Michael Jackson.

Najwa Amira, Ooi Shar Mayn and Benjamin Koh echo that single thought, and they quoted the words of Mahatma Gandhi: Be the change that you want to see in the world.
