After the long weeks of organizing the food drive, I thought it would be a great idea for the DAWG group to get out of the school and feel the outside world and rewarding them for the perseverance and commitment in the activities. I really thought they would learn a lot from this trip, especially the truth that is out there. It took me awhile to organize the whole trip. It was not easy; from booking the time at the pawn, booking the bus, writing punch of permission letters to parents, teachers and head master to carrying all the 100 kg of dog food from the third floor to the bus. I felt like I truly did Developed new skills in planning and initiating the activities a lot more than I should have been considering that I was not the only one who was in charge of the DAWG campaign.
The pawn was heart shaking. The condition was poor and the place was filled with 150 dogs and 50 cats. As soon as we arrived at the gate, there were dogs barking and fighting all over. It was quite frightening for the kids. Stephanie, Sorrel and I decided that we would be the only one entering the pawn due to the security issue.
I knew at that moment that the kids did learn something. They finally saw it with their own two innocent eyes. It would be grateful if they can learn to realize that this is just the beginning. There are a lot more for them to learn and to truly get engage with issues of global importance.
