Background:
This was a week-long project which was mainly

and Furry Friends Farm. This event was also conducted to raise awareness on
animal abuse and cruelty.
Awareness was raised through an exhibition board about
animal cruelty.
-Raise awareness about animal cruelty and abuse
-Raise funds for Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM)and Furry Friends Farm
Details:
Funds were raised through the selling of food and
beverages as well as a games corner. The food and beverages included mashed
potato, jelly, fried crab sticks and fizzy lemonade.
Four games were held, which were: Save the Animal
game, Angry Bird catapult game and an egg basket game.
The Save the Animal game involved fishing out tiny
bottles, which had animal prints on them, out of the water. The participant was
given 1 minute to fish out a minimum of 4 bottles using a handmade fishing rod.
If the participant managed to fish 4 bottles, 1 point was awarded to that
participant. If the participant managed to fish more than 4 bottles (there was
a maximum of 7 bottles), he/she was awarded with 2 points.
The Angry Bird catapult game required the participant
to shoot down small plastic yakult bottles (pictures of poachers were pasted on
each) using a handmade chopstick gun and a rubber band. The participant was
given three tries and was awarded 1 point for every bottle he/she shoots down.
The egg basket game involved the participant throwing
a ping pong ball into and egg tray. This egg tray was colored in some holes
only. Therefore if the ball fell in the colored hole, the participant was
awarded one point. Here also the
participant was given 3 tries.
Points for all these games were given in the form on a
handmade origami cat/dog. These points could be exchanged for gifts. 3 points
could be exchanged for a bookmark, cream samples and vouchers.
10 points could be exchanged for goody bags and 40
points could be exchanged for a hamper.
