Day 1: S.A.F.E Club (Monday, February 17)

SAFE’s stands for ‘Save Animals From Experiments’. Our mission is to spread awareness and to sensitize young adults about animal exploitation. We organised several activities throughout the week, which included two talks concerning vivisection and animal tourism. The first talk was led by Ms. Tammi, an animal activist, who strives to make a positive environment for animals by informing young adults about the aftermath of vivisection. This informative speech made students and teachers better aware of the exploitation of animals. Our second talk was regarding animal tourism. Ms. Brighde and Ms. Wichayapat, animal and environmental activists, led the discussion on animal tourism. This thought-provoking discussion left students with motivation to bring about a positive change, a change to help and care for animals. At the end, we accomplished our motive to provoke new ideas and a sincere effort to learn more about animals that cohabit our planet.Ìý
