NUS Animal Welfare participated in its 1st ever Matric fair and it turned out to be a ‘ROARING SUCCESS’ with over 300 freshmen expressing interest in participating in our cause. Days before the Matric fair our voulnteers worked round the clock to get our posters, flyers, postcards and newsletters sorted out. The Matric fair kicked off on the 24th July (set up day) when 5 of our own NUS AWS volunteers transported all logistics for the booth set up. The set up was to begin around 9am but in classis Animal Welfare ‘eager-beaverness’ our volunteers arrived at 7am to start up and we were the first group to be at the Matric fair set up!

After 5 hours of heaving our logistics from Kallang to NUS to level 2 of MPSH and finally to setting up our deco we are proud to present the AWS booth!

During the Matric Fair days there was never a dull moment and the interest kept pouring in. Our posters and video attracted the freshmen and our flyer, newsletter and postcards educated them.

The booth was never under-manned and at all times we had 1 public relations pair and 1 admin manger in our very own office (i.e. ehind our posters)! The NUS Animal Welfare Society would like to thank the following volunteers who helped make this event a success: Willy, Harsharon, Davi, Venky, Sharon, Janani, Satveer, Liling, Jaipal and Raj. Look out for our next update on the Welcome Tea Round Up.
