St Xavier's Institution and St Francis' Institution

Students from St Xavier's writes:

"A donation booth was set up on our school’s speech day. It was held before and after the prize presentation. Several members were on duty at the booth to promote our cause, at the same time raising funds from parents as well as teachers who were present. There was also a short announcement given to parents just before the prize presentation ended to inform parents about what LDOPP is.

We also came up with a simple slide show using materials provided by the La Salle Centre as well as information from our own research. We played the slide show along the school’s corridor throughout the month we carried out LDOPP.

We took turns to give talks as well as showed a movie clip to spread the message of making this world a better place. The title of the movie clip was “Lost Generation”. At the end of the presentation, we left a donation box behind the ALT to raise some funds.

Generally, this project was a success as we managed to spread our message to almost 500 people. At the same time, we raised more than RM1000. The funds collected exceeded our target of RM500."

"On 3 October 2009, a group of us organized LDOPP to create awareness about the sufferings and hardships that some children endure. These children, abused and unfortunate, lead tough lives of being child soldiers , prostitutes and slaves.

Brother Michael Kum launched the event at 7.30pm by introducing the topic ‘The War on Children’. Then we took turn providing information about child soldiers, sexual abuse, child labour and laws that protected children . We had slide shows , videos and a song. The song “Heal the World “ was a huge hit and everyone sang with high spirits.



Finally it was time for prayers. Prayers from different cultures were shown on the big screen. Later, we went down to the quadrangle for the final prayer . Everyone was given a candle each. We said the prayers together and when it was over, we left with a promise to continue this initiative."
