Heriot-Watt University Malaysia (“HWUM” or the “University”) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nicol David Organisation (“NDO”) at the University’s Putrajaya campus on 8 February 2023.
The MoU formalizes a collaboration between Heriot-Watt and NDO to empower children aged 8 to 12 from B40 and M40 families through the latter’s flagship programme, ‘Little Legends’, which is set to kick-start in March 2023.
Under this programme, these children will take part in squash training, English tutoring, and life skills workshops. Heriot-Watt will also be supporting NDO through its research efforts and empowering the University’s students to take part in the noble cause as volunteers or interns.
The MoU signatories were HWUM Provost and Chief Executive Officer Professor Mushtak Al- Atabi and NDO Founder & Head Coach Yang Berbahagia Datuk (Dr) Nicol Ann David.
Also present as witness signatories were HWUM Chief Operating Officer and Registrar Janice Yew and former Colombian squash player Mariana de Reyes, who is also the NDO Founder & Chief Executive Officer.
Founder & Head Coach of Nicol David Organisation Datuk (Dr) Nicol Ann David said: “I believe that the best thing I can do to grow our nation is provide opportunities for children so they can one day dream big like I did. The values learnt through sports like hard work, discipline and positivity will shape these children in their own lives and in their future. Sport can help them develop these life-skills for life.”
