 The past three months
have seen RAS instrumentally and actively reaching out to a diversified
audience, both locals and foreigners. We are heartened by the heightened
awareness of our activities and programmes, not only locally but
internationally, which have managed to captivate a French-German TV
station to do a feature about us. With the feature targeted to be
broadcasted in September, we are anticipating more viewers in Europe to
learn about us and our initiatives.
We
are certain that having foreign exposure will not suffice in reaching out
to a diversified group as we continue to reach out to children from
preschools and students from schools. Recently, we collaborated with the
Institute of Technical Education (ITE) for the first time to help launch a
campus wide restroom awareness campaign. A mass beach cleanup activity
organised by the National Environment Agency saw more youths getting to
know the importance of a good restroom environment at our booth.
Notwithstanding
our success of reaching out to the youths, we continue to interact with
the adults. We conducted sessions for working adults from the logistic
profession and partnered with the Hemisphere Foundation, a non-government
organisation, to reach out to the general public at a week long
exhibition at an Orchard shopping mall.
With
more support from government agencies, non-government organisations,
educational institutions and private companies, we should not be very far
from fostering a gracious society which adopts a good restroom culture.
