International Women’s Day is celebrated all around the world on the 8th of March in appreciation of women’s achievements and to remind all about how women have been able to attain their status in today’s society.
In lieu with IWD on 8th March, RGS ONE chapter sold a variety of flowers on 6-7th March to principals, teachers and students of RGS as well as RGS alumni who came back to the school to attend RGS 130th Founder’s Day Homecoming Dinner.
Everyone was encouraged to purchase a flower or two to show their appreciation for the important women in their lives. The response to the flower sales were very encouraging and over the short 2 days, RGS ONE chapter was able to raise a total sum of $528.65.
All proceeds will go towards the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics (H.O.M.E.)- a registered society responding to the needs of foreign communities in Singapore by campaigning against the abuse of foreign domestic workers.
