Library Talk

By setting up exhibitions and posters at libraries, we hope to raise the awareness of the poverty situation in Singapore amongst the general public.

Through the entire process, we have met quite a number of difficulties, but have faced these challenges relatively well.

Firstly, with the designing of the posters, we met a few road blocks when brainstorming for ideas. In order to reach out to the public audience and yet prevent too much information from overwhelming them, we put meticulous thought into our word choice, font size and font colour. Finally, we came to a common consensus on the details. Next, we sieved through our multitude of photos. We chose the more representative and symbolic pictures to signify each major event that took place.

In this planning process, we had some conflicts over the details, but we took turns to give in after all. We distributed the workload and allowed ease for finishing the poster in time. We printed it and prepared for the day of exhibiting it.

During the planning process, we met some obstacles. At first, we proposed for a library talk. We went through the trouble to draft out the action plan and proposed to a few libraries, Jurong East, Queenstown etc. In the end, we got rejected as it did not fit into the libraries’ programme and schedule. Yet, undaunted, we asked for suggestions on how improve. We then discussed thoroughly with the library personnel and came to a solidifying consensus to put up posters and exhibit them in various libraries. There is a substantial number of library users and observations have shown that a significant percentage of them read these attractive posters.

From this, we learnt about fortifying our perseverance and determination in bad times. With resilience, we push forth and managed to adapt to the situation and learn from our setbacks. Hence, I would confidently say that my group dealt with this obstacle well and made a comeback with renewed gusto.

Rock on Project Sunshine!
