Special Finale Post !
Days by days passed. And now,the day had come. Yes,the day that we have to submit our blog URL to the contest coordinators. It had been a wonderful time, conducting our campaign to everyone. We had a very great time promoting our campaign which at the same time, boosted up our confidence, gave us chances to make new friends and of course, helped us and people to lend a hand in the effort of conserving orangutans. We have been through thick and thin together,as a team, strong one.
We would like to take this golden opportunity to express our utmost gratitude to several people that have been supporting us from the moment we start till now:
1)Our teachers a.k.a our advisors, Madam Dyuhiza Anwar, Madam Hasneeyah Ismail and Madam Eliza Majid for giving us the permission to start the campaign and of course,for being with us all the way till today. Thanks a lot,teachers!
2)Our schoolmates for giving the best collaboration while we were conducting our campaign.
3)Our parents who keep on boosting our spirit throughout this campaign.
4)And thanks to WWF and other organizations that has anything to do with this blog contest for giving us a chance to help save the Orangutans. Not only we did that, we also learned new things through out this whole thing, friendships and hardships.
5)Last but of course,not the least,YOU. Yes,our supporters for being our strength throughout the campaign, who keep on supporting all our activities. Thanks. Thanks. and Thanks.
We've done the best we could promoting this campaign to the community out there. The result has quite gotten accross, considering the limited time we had. However, our campaign would definitely not end here as there're more activities that we planned but the time does not give a green light. InsyaAllah,we will carry the activities as our spirit will never die.
Once again, we would like to thank all the people that support us in many ways. We would never succeed the campaign without your help. Thank a lot :)
Poster Drawing Contest
We began our first activity by conducting a poster drawing contest in hopes that it would promote awareness. We created a notice announcing our competition. The contest is open to Form 1 and Form 2 students of our school. This is due to our activities clashing with the PMR and SPM examinations. Form 3, 4 and 5 pupils are not encouraged to join in our activities for fear of disrupting their studies.
The notice we created.
We went around the school and posted the notice to increase awareness of our contest. While we were doing so, a few teachers came over and asked what we were doing. We explained about our campaign and they smiled and gave us words of encouragement.
Our competition allows the contestants ample time to create their artwork. They will create a poster promoting our campaign and send them in to us, The Saviours Crew for evaluation. We will then choose the top three posters and give prizes to the winners.
