To create and elicit strong response , the group decided to approach SPCA to get photographs of
abused and abandoned animals to showcase the plight. As such the photo exhibition is themed
as :”Feel their pain! Make a Pledge today” and displayed prominently outside school canteen during
the period 1 Oct – 8 Oct. Students are asked to view the exhibition before making a pledge or penned
down their thoughts on a cat or dog “origami” papers. Marketing of this event include the A3
posters, assembly presentations to lower Primary (1 & 2) during the Children’s Day Celebrations and
recess assembly presentations to upper Primary level. There were close to 30 willing helpers to help
fold the origami animals and promote the events. The exhibition garnered a lot of unexpected
curious onlookers reaching out to canteen staff, book vendors, parents and our school security guards
too. They felt is pity to see animal being abused! Students swamped into the booth and at times when
we cant manned the booth, students are encouraged to drop in the origami pledge into a box. Close
to 700 paper origami pledges were made and as days progress, the exhibition panel were filled with
origami pledges made from students, teachers and even our Vice Principal drop-by and made a pledge
despite her busy schedule with PSLE exam period round the corner. The impact created was
encouraging, the assembly to lower Primary reached out to 540 pupils who all stood up to recite a
pledge prepared by the team. We also managed to get nice giveaways – small postcards and badges
from SPCA to give to students to remind them about this event. We received feedback from positive
feedback from parents too. The team members have also grown more aware of the duties and
responsibilities of being a pet owner and felt great to make an impact on others on worthy cause.
Feel their pain, Make a pledge
