UNDAUNTED by a fundraising event that was cancelled due to the movement control order (MCO), a group of university students turned it into a different project to benefit medical frontliners.

Members of the Mass Communication Students Association at a private university had been working on their club’s annual International Women’s Week fundraising event for several months leading up to March, but had to plan an alternative project when the event was cancelled due to MCO.
