Today, our team had a fantastic time at SMK Damai Jaya, where we talked to students about the importance of skin cancer awareness and how to stay safe in the sun. The briefing session given by Dr. Wan Fatin Amira was full of useful tips and really made an impact. Following the briefing, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our Creative Short Video Competition.
The students are buzzing with ideas to unleash their creativity and produce captivating short videos that spread awareness about skin cancer and the importance of sun protection. They’re all set to create some amazing videos on skin cancer awareness, with awesome prizes up for grabs. We can’t wait to see what they come up with!
