 For the past three
months, we had been actively reaching out to the education sector. Amid
rising concerns over the outbreak of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD),
we held our first preschool seminar and shared with invited principals
and teachers about our school education programme and the importance of
maintaining high restroom standards and personal hygiene.
Not
forgetting the higher education sector, we continued to participate and
support school-related activities including helping tertiary students
such as the Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s
students in their projects. With upcoming requests from tertiary students,
we should soon see more innovative projects about the restroom
environment.
We
would like to express our sincere appreciation to the media, both local
and foreign, for their support and help in publicising information about
our initiatives. It was heartening to learn that the foreign media had
publicised about our role in the Singapore’s first inaugural Youth
Olympic Games. With the positive international media coverage of our
initiatives, we are assured that our drive towards a model restroom
culture in Singapore garners international recognition.
With our first LOO (Let’s
Observe Ourselves) Carnival & Awards just around the corner in
December, we are hoping to see a good turnout from the public and your
support is crucial to the success of our first carnival. We are also looking
forward to receiving more nominations for the LOO Awards this year.
