Dear School,
In conjunction with the global STAND UP AGAINST POVERTY event, Dunman High will be holding this event for the very first time!
Stand Up and Take Action Against Poverty and For The Millennium Development Goals is a global event which takes place on 17 October to remind world leaders to honour their commitments to end poverty. In 2007, more than 43 million people from 127 countries “Stood Up” including 4033 here in Singapore. Most of these Singaporeans were youth, including students from RGS, Hwa Chong Institution, Raffles Institution and NUS.
In 2008, ONE percent of the world population is expected to Stand Up. We would like the students, faculty and employees of Dunman High to be part of this ONE percent!
For every person who Stands Up in Singapore, ONE (SINGAPORE)'s corporate members are pledging to support projects linked to the MDGs across Asia, including the distribution of mosquito nets to fight malaria and construction of latrines in
schools to improve sanitation and enable girls to attend classes.
Stand Up is a simple yet meaningful and very importantly, powerful message that global citizens can send. With bigger numbers, a greater sense of unity, compassion and urgency can be really felt.
Hence, as part of this meaningful event, we will be holding some fringe activities where you are encouraged to participate in. We will be holding 3 competitions namely art, poem, and song competition. (Rules and regulations, registration list attached.) We would also display the winners of the contests as well as posters on the Millennium Development Goals on that day.
We would also like to encourage you to buy the $2 white bands as they are the symbol of this event. It represents the passion to eradicate poverty by 2015 and also contributes to the World Guinness record if you buy the white bands and join us on that day. You will also get a free Student Membership of ONE (Singapore) if you buy it. Please indicate your orders in the spreadsheet.
Do come down on 17th October and be part of this
significant event to eradicate poverty!

Yeap and also the exams are coming -sadface- And we are left with 32 days left as 2Gemma in school having lessons, being retarded, watching the guys gay around, laughing at each other, making fun of certain people, etc :( Yes that is a freaking short time. I'm really really gonna miss you guys lots and hope we'll have lots of full attendance class gatherings next year. God knows what I'd do without you guys next year. Gosh I feel like I have so many things to say to y'all but that could wait for later. Meanwhile please work hard for your exams and take good care of yourselves people! let's organise more class gatherings during the year end holidays :) Will be posting the birthday celebration pictures soon!Natalie
