Reuben Then from St Joseph's School, Sarawak shares:
With the theme above, the Lasallian Day of Prayers for Peace (LDOPP) was held at the St Joseph’s Secondary School, Kuching on the 14th and 15th October 2010. More than 1000 students and teachers, from both morning and afternoon session, took part in this annual activity.
The organizing committee of this activity was lead by me, assisted by others to ensure the activity ran smoothly. Guiding us were Madam Stella Caroline and Madam Ruby Erie, the SJS Lasallian Society Teacher Advisors.
This year’s theme focused on racism that’s happening around the world and in Malaysia. Students and teachers were told of the negative effects of racism to everyone and how we can stop racism during a speech at the school’s weekly assembly. It was stressed that we should follow Saint John Baptist de La Salle – we should be colour-blind and do not discriminate others.
A simple and short video clip was shown and this impacted most of the students and teachers strongly on the effects of racism. A mini-exhibition was also set up, showing pictures and articles of racism that’s happening around the world, both past and present.
