"LDOPP was carried out successfully from the 12th of December to the 13th of December at the school foyer. There was a simple exhibition and a short speech to inform the students of the exhibition and to spread a message of awareness to the students. A few exhibition posters were put up in the school foyer about child soldiers, child labor and child abuse - current issues that children face today. Pieces of paper were given to students to write messages of peace as a symbolic act.
The response was quite good, as quite a number of people turned to write down their messages and gave positive comments about the exhibition, noting it was a change from the usual. They also gave us great support. Besides that, we managed to spread the awareness regarding this war on children.
There were a few problems such as technical issues, lack of publicity, and lack of organisers. But we feel that SMI LDOPP 2009 was big success regardless of the problems faced and we hope that next year’s LDOPP will be an even greater success."
From the top of Borneo island, LSKK writes:
"We started LDOPP in La Salle KK this year again, after a 2-year lapse. A meeting with the Young Lasallians was held and we decided that a small-scaled exhibition will be done in the Junior Campus, whereas the Senior Campus will have a Peace Wall.
Unfortunately, holidays and exams proved to be quite a distraction. In the end, a speech was made during assembly, and in the whole month of October, information about LDOPP and the inter-faith prayers for peace were put up on one of the notice boards in the Senior block. No activity in particular was held due to the exams, but there was an invitation in front of the board for everyone who passes through the board to halt and say those prayers for peace for a moment.
We're looking forward to having a better LDOPP next year!"
