schools visiting OLE
For the whole of January, One Life Experience exhibit welcomed many students and teachers at Campus Green in SMU. We are glad that teachers are enthusiatic about bringing their students to visit OLE. Isnt it cool to learn about the epidemic out of the classroom? We have been students ourselves too... so we understand how different our brains absorb information in such a hands-on, outdoor lesson as compared to lessons in classroom. =)
Hope u have enjoyed ur journey at OLE! Should you have any feedback regarding the exhibit, please do not hesitate to email us too!
Oh and here are some of your photos!
And the journey begins....
The OLE team wants to thank all the schools for being so supportive!

Back in Action!
After a short hiatus from the last event, the OLE team is back again with more plans for the coming month! That means more school visits and more students getting to know the One Life Experience. If you're looking for something significant to do on your free days, do head down to visit the exhibition (we're at SMU now) :)
Walking through the exhibition trails and listening to the heart-breaking real life stories have given us greater motivation to tell youth like you and me about OLE, and to do something for the cause. It is easy to talk about these issues, but what is more important is taking the initiaitve to pledge to not discriminate, to see these people for who they are, to accept them fully.
Although the exhibtion is only here in Singapore for a short period of two months plus, we hope that what you've learnt after walking through it will stay with you.
Thank you all once again for your support for OLE so far!

Tanglin Trust School
This morning, youth OLE team went down to Tanglin Trust School. It's the first International School we visit. Stepping into the school was like leaving Singapore behind for a few hours and be surrounded by a United Nation of students, from ages 6 and up.
Needless to say, the ladies of youth OLE team lost control in the presence of young cute children doing cute stuff like blowing soap bubbles and running around with their colourful mini-windmills. The only male member had to literally pry their fingers away from the fence seperating our booth and the field, where the kids are playing. Well, I can't say I blame them for being so maternal cos the kids are really...cute...
Anyways, back to the purpose of our visit. Response has been fantastic for TTS. We don't just have eager students pledging their support, a number of teachers have come down to our booth expressing interest as well. Students actually take time off while travelling in between their classes to come pledge their thumbprints. We even distracted a class doing PE in the field behind us to the extent that the teacher had to come drag her students back to class. Sorry!
With TTS, we've come to an end for school visits in 2007. But we're not slacking! We'll be contacting schools again in the coming week to arrange for visits. If you're interested in getting OLE to visit your school, juz drop us a mail or leave a message on our tagboard!
In the meantime, do click on the slideshow below to view the action at TTS and download your photos!

OLE Bins along Orchard Road
If you happen to be walking along Orchard Road, please keep a lookout for OLE bins!
These bins are part of a Singapore Design Festival event named Creative Home: Art is Rubbish (Bins)
"Apart from artsy designs to liven up Orchard Road, the dustbins will also carry an environmental or social message. This is one of the highlights of project Creative Home, which hopes to promote public appreciation and ownership of the environment." -- Youth.sg
Together with the help of our "fifth member" Grace and her sister, we painted these bins. They will be displayed along the busy Orchard Road and if you happen to see them, please do help us take a photo and send one to us!
We want to thank the organiser for supporting our cause!
If you want to find out more on the event, here's the link to the event website: http://www.creativehome.youth.sg/
