It is never too late to celebrate our students' !
Our Economics with Finance student, ChenChen, has been shortlisted on the Student Award 2023 for their Outstanding Contribution to Community Wellbeing!

ChenChen kindly shared their comments with us:
"I worked on a water purification project in Zimbabwe since March 2017. The project offers a water purification strategy which is to utilise moringa seeds and banana peels to remove the heavy metals and bacteria in water. In the past year, the project has supported forty households in accessing clean water sanitation.

It is always great to participate in some form of volunteering work to contribute to the local communities and make the positive social contributions!"

Congratulations ChenChen!!
