WHITE CANE ENTERPRISE White Cane enterprise is a group created to understand and raise awareness of the visually impaired. White cane is a tool used by visually impaired people to independently and safely navigate the world. It is also an international symbol that symbolises the independence and achievements of the visually impaired. The White Cane Enterprise has decided to donate money to an organisation operating a variety of support projects for visually impaired people in South Korea. While researching, we have found out that there are over 250,000 visually impaired people in South Korea and yet there is not enough support for them. As members of the society in which we live together with the visually impaired ones, we have thought that we should work harder to create a society where everyone, no matter if they are disabled or not are safe and have their own rights protected. Through this donation, we felt very pleased and became proud of ourselves, realising how our act would have been helpful for people with visual impairment.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE The Sound of Silence was a student-led performance based on the movie “The Greatest Showman” which was part of the Arts Festival 2022. Our team aimed to raise awareness of social minorities and further initiate continuous support for local minority communities from NLCS Jeju. Unlike other fundraisers and campaigns, we used the medium of performance because we believed that performing arts could deliver messages more powerful than a thousand words, enabling us to connect with more people. We believe this was proved to be true because our performance, which was essentially a collaboration of music and dance, became a meaningful experience for 60 students including year 8 through 13 and even alumni, many supporting staff, and more than 400 audience members. After thinking about how we could go beyond and exert a positive influence on local communities through our performance, we decided to fundraise and donate to the Jeonghye Rehabilitation centre to aid the local impaired community. While the spotlight is usually on the performers, we believe that every single person involved was crucial in making this project a success. It is most definitely a result of a collective effort of not only those on stage but also the unseen supporters such as the backstage crew, students who were part of the fundraisers, and supporting staff. We would like to express our gratitude to all those who helped us with our
