What if you could change the world<br />
simply by doing what you love?<br />
Be it dancing, running, baking, or even<br />
painting! Last year, a few schools<br />
around the country decided to do just<br />
that, after being inspired by worldrecord<br />
athlete, Julia Immonen and her<br />
45-day row across the Atlantic ocean<br />
to raise global awareness on human<br />
trafficking.<br />
Following Julia’s campaign title<br />
#RowForFreedom, each school chose a<br />
#ForFreedom project that would<br />
contribute to helping others in need -<br />
whether its simply raising awareness<br />
on social injustice or directly raising<br />
funds towards its cause.<br />
#GiveForFreedom<br />
SMK KIARAMAS<br />
A"Free Market Day" where<br />
two orphanages were<br />
invited to ‘shop for free’!<br />
The students collected<br />
items, raised and donated<br />
RM2400.00 for them, and<br />
also cooked food for the<br />
event.<br />

#SBUForFreedom<br />
SMK SERI BINTANG<br />
UTARA<br />
A 500m awareness walk and a<br />
day full of games to remind<br />
students that not every child<br />
has the freedom to play safely. All<br />
participating students shared their<br />
thoughts about human trafficking and<br />
what they’ve learnt throughout<br />
this awareness day.<br />
#Anti-BullyForFreedom<br />
SM SAINS SELANGOR<br />
#PlayForFreedom<br />
SK KARAK<br />
A sports day that gave<br />
special needs students and<br />
typical students the chance<br />
to learn how to play and<br />
work together.<br />
An awareness campaign educating<br />
other students on how to deal with<br />
bullying. It also involved a car wash,<br />
selling t-shirts and buttons, as well as a<br />
talk session with police. They also visited<br />
other schools to talk about how they can<br />
also be bully-free schools.<br />
#EducationForFreedom<br />
SMK ASSUNTA<br />
A voluntary tutoring program where<br />
students took turns in groups to tutor<br />
children from the Agathians Shelter<br />
every two weeks. They held art and<br />
reading sessions for these primary<br />
school-aged children that helped<br />
encourage creativity and improve<br />
literacy.<br />
“If not now, then when?<br />
If not you, then who?”<br />
