The past few days have been in colourful hurry. Many times I remember walking here and there all over the school getting to different places and listening to different people talking, coming up with different ideas and settling on different decisions. Yay I'm back to the old life of handling numerous projects again and I can't love this life any greater!
To make days more wonderful still, our timetables have been restructured for these two weeks, and with the exception of PW, our lives have reverted back to that of the old orientation days, having huge free blocks, absolutely no tutorials, and most desirably, having a peace of mind after all that crazy studying for the promos. In fact school life now is as good as it can get - in between the promos and our results, with nothing but slow-paced lectures and lots of fun stuff after school late into the night. I'm treasuring this. Even when there's an entire presentation to prepare for, this can't really get any better :D
More importantly, to everyone who's reading, READ THIS MOST CAREFULLY!
I will STAND UP AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST POVERTY on 17th October 2008 in RJC. Join me!
Stand Up and Take Action is here once again. Last year in RI a very small-scale event was organized, and a group of really passionate people Stood Up against poverty, making sure that the world knows we're not happy with the present situation of widespread poverty in developing countries and pledging to take steps to make a positive difference in this society.
That was last year. This year, continuing on from the Stand Up events in RI and RGS last year, we bring to you STAND UP & TAKE ACTION 2008, RJC! The actual pledge against poverty will be on the 17th, and in that week, you will find for yourself countless opportunities to take a stand against poverty. Await the week ahead :D
Events and fringe activities to be held in RJC include:
1. Coalition of Aid Fair - where various NGOs and aid organisations such as WorldVision, RefugeeSEA, AIESEC, Action for Aids and HOPE Foundation will set up informative booths/displays for you to take further action in the fight against poverty!
2. Sales booth - Purchase white wristbands from MakePovertyHistory, and badges with the official SUTA logos 2008 to show your support for the cause!
3. Banner Handprinting - Make your impression by handprinting on a giant banner which reads 'RAFFLES STANDS UP AND TAKES ACTION'!
4. The Sanitation Project - It takes only USD$150 to buy enough cement to build a sanitation unit for a co-ed school in India. Through pledging and aid, we can help provide clean sanitation to Third World nations!
5. The Rice Drive - As an individual, class or SIG, donate some rice into the huge RJC collection sack, and help feed abused migrant workers resting in the H.O.M.E. shelter in Singapore!
6. Oh, Say That Thing! - An open mic event where you have up to 7 minutes to say all that you wish to regarding the issue of poverty. Perform anything - and we mean anything, speech, song or dance - original or adapted, and let your voice be heard!
Coming to RJC next week. Stand Up and Take Action against poverty.
