August 08, our MySkills campus was buzzing with excitement as we hosted an inspiring workshop titled “Rags to Riches: Empowering Youths Through Sustainable Products.” We were privileged to partner with Edwards Lifesciences Malaysia, who brought 50 of their dedicated staff to make this event a resounding success.
The workshop was spearheaded by the APAC Product Manager, Ms. Ranjeeta Kaur, with special support from the Country Leader of Edwards Lifesciences, Mr. Parameswaran Nair, who also connected with our participants. Their leadership and passion for sustainability were evident as they guided 100 of our students through a hands-on stitching workshop. Using recycled materials, our students learned to craft heart-shaped pillows, creating 50 unique and beautiful pieces by the end of the day.
This workshop was more than just a lesson in crafting it was an opportunity for our students to engage with the concept of sustainability in a tangible way. Each pillow represents not just their hard work, but also a step towards a more environmentally conscious future.
Prior to this event, 10 of our students had the incredible opportunity to visit the Edwards Lifesciences office. This visit allowed them to gain valuable insights into the workings of a global leader, enhancing their understanding and inspiring them as they approached the workshop. The knowledge they gained was reflected in their enthusiasm and dedication during the event.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Parameswaran Nair, Ms. Ranjeeta Kaur, and the entire Edwards Lifesciences Malaysia team. Your guidance, support, and commitment to our students have made a lasting impact. Together, we are empowering the next generation to embrace sustainability and create a brighter, more sustainable future.
Let’s continue to foster partnerships that blend education, creativity and sustainability.
Together, we can make a difference!
