A Day, A Ribbon, An Awareness

First n foremost, sorry all for the delay in updating.

As required by DSA and as we have discussed in the meeting, we will organize a day of awareness as one of our events. Here are some suggestions with pros and cons of it. If there are other awareness which you think might work out, do leave a comment below or beside (chatbox). Thanks in advance =)

Suggestion 1 - Pink Ribbon (Breast Cancer Awareness)
October is the month of breast cancer awareness as seen on TV ads etc. This campaign is running now and we might as well join in the awareness. Pros is everyone know what this is and we might get sponsors easier this month or even next month (leftovers from NGO). Cons, UTAR people are to shy, so it might not work out. Imagine a guy talking bout breast cancer to a group of girls, it would be embarassing to both the guy(which is most probably ME) and girlS -___-" .

Suggestion 2 - Red Ribbon (AIDS Awareness)
As usual AIDS and HIV campaign. Pros is theres alot of NGO outside for us to get ribbons(might not need to make em n free brochures to give out and posters too). Con is whether if DSA allow us to get in the NGOs.

Suggestion 3 - White Ribbon (Gender violence -men working to end men's violence against women)
White Ribbon campaign is the international symbol of stopping violence against women. It comes with themes such as "walk a mile in her heels" n "in her shoes". Pros is simple n easy to understand awareness where it don't concern sensitive sexuality issues. Con is the $$$ for the ribbons, posters etc. We can always ask if we can do a donation drive for this day or not with DSA, cause the budget we need is not much and if some lecturers were to donate some of their pocket money then it would be nice. roughly below RM100 can make a decent awareness which can be considered MEGA i think.

Thats for suggestion. I'm still lacking people to help me out with this. I know thesis is all here and together with assignments and mid terms but this is just a simple 1 day awareness not for the sake of the society but also for the community. Think of it as some sort of charity.

So whoevers interested call/sms me. Got to go, got to sleep.

Best Regards,
