Field Day 4 - Second visit to SPCA

Yay! Another trip to SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), another chance to help animals. Here, Priscilla Hendriks, the awesome Education Officer at SPCA, gave us some insight as to the reality of pet ownership in Kuala Lumpur. She stressed the importance of pet responsibility and how our helping in turn, helps the animals at the shelter.Then the mentors and mentees had a blast doing a meaningful activity, where they identified how special their friends were and what qualities in them they liked.

Of course, we also visited the animals, who (hopefully!) recognized us from our previous visit.

"The cleaning needs to be done - whether or not it smells!" :)
"There you go! You have a clean bed now!"

So Day 5 was on what are helpful and non-helpful ways of communicating with others, and ways we can reach out to help others and ways we can reach out for help when in need.





At the end of the day, everyone realized how special the animals were - they showed us unity, they showed us strength in the face of adversity - they showed us that we too, need to be united, for no man is an island.
