DEAR CLASS:
In case you've noticed all those posters with two hands cupping a heart-shaped amount of rice and have been wondering what all that's about, this is it:
Throughout the whole of next week, beginning Monday, the UNIFEM Youth Team will be coming down to start a rice drive in our school! This is the very first of its kind in Singapore, and will be benefiting the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (HOME), a registered society and charity that looks into the welfare and rights of migrant workers in Singapore.
How you can take part is by bringing uncooked rice (it's your choice how much, be it a small cup or an entire bag) and depositing it into gunnysacks at the booth that will be set up in the canteen. We're not asking for much - we're not even asking for a monetary donation! - but your little contribution will go a long way in ensuring the welfare of abused and abandoned foreign workers in Singapore.
Be sure to visit thericedrive.blogspot.com or http://www.unifemsingapore.org.sg to find out more. UNIFEM is on Facebook, too, if that's your preferred avenue.
Thanks and remember to bring rice on Monday!
:D LETI <3.
