Racial Harmony Day and Upcoming Events




Hello! Here is an update of Racial Harmony Day which was commemorated last Friday in Hua Yi. This year`s Racial Harmony Day was more unique than other years as we had our Study Hall guests together with us to commemorate this day. The ONE Advocates got into their various traditional costumes as they went on stage. With Alan as the MC, Racial Harmony Day got off to a start. The first item of Racial Harmony Day in Hua Yi was a traditional Indian dance performed by the Study Hall students. Next up was the presentation of Racial Harmony Day by the ONE Advocates: Evann, Melissa, and Say Yun. This included explaining what is the importance of racial harmony in Singapore and explaining what the Declaration of Religious Harmony meant, before all of the Hua Yians stood up to recite the declaration. After that, we had a skit by the Study Hall guests, a Chinese dance performed by the Dance Society, a few traditional Indian songs by the Study Hall guests, and another presentation made by the Study Hall guests on Lucknow, India. As this was the last day for the Study Hall students in Hua Yi, there was an exchange of gifts between Study Hall and Hua Yi.
The next big event the ONE Advocates will be planning for is the 42nd National Day in Singapore and will be an important event that is upcoming in a few weeks time. Until then, wait and see for what is in store for Hua Yi. Bye.
