Malaysia is amongst the countries taking part in the tournament. Holding placards that carried delightful welcome messages such as ‘Limkokwing Supports Team Malaysia, Selamat Datang Team Malaysia’, the University’s management, staff and student ambassadors filled the SSKIA Arrival Hall with so much ebullience much to the excitement of the Malaysian Team which displayed so much enthusiasm. Speaking at the Khakhea 2017 NWYC donations launch, which was held immediately after the Malaysia team welcome, Limkokwing University head of public relations, Mercy Thebe stated that, “Our Global University is proud to be part of this international sporting event as we are an institution that is an avid supporter of all sports codes including netball.
Through the esteemed leadership and guidance of the university president, Tan Sri Limkokwing we found it imperative to support Khakhea Primary School which has been nominated to support Malaysia Netball Team by donating P15,000 which will be used to cater food for the entire Khakhea Netball Team throughout the tournament. Malaysia is where Limkokwing University originates from, and where the mother campus of the 12 Limkokwing University campuses located in three continents is located.” She said Limkokwing University mission states that half of the world’s population comprises youths below the age of 25 which is the age group that will be taking part in the NWYC competition. Few of these youths are involved in decisions that affect their way of life, their desires, their interests, and their future and as a global institution of higher learning “we strive to create a partnership with youths (through such events) to build a better world as we envision a time when youths from all parts of the world are engaged to improve all sectors of the world’s socio-economic state”. She said it is the University’s mission to create a global network of youths equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to contribute to world economics and by so doing it is part of our curriculum DNA to mould our students to be active in global events such as the NWYC where their opinions are heard and respected.
