Minor Community Service (A): Second Chance Animal Society

 On the 6th of January 2024, Saturday, 10 members from our club, who were accompanied by three faculty advisors, namely Mr. Naresh Manickavasagam, Mdm. Devika Nagarajan and Mr. Ramanaesh Rao, visited the Second Chance Animal Society to carry out a Minor Community Service Project. The objective of this Minor Community Service Project was to provide a better environment for the animals at the shelter through assisting the shelter’s owner in carrying out his duties in caring for the animals. This was in line with one of the club’s global causes, namely to help care for the environment. The project was led by the organising chairperson, LEO Coehn Yong Wai, who was assisted by his committee members LEO Tan Kai Yang and LEO Carys Teoh. 

The members and Faculty Advisors arrived at the destination between 8:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Upon their arrival, they were greeted by the excited and welcoming dogs, as well as their owner. The members first petted and played with the dogs to get used to them. Afterwards, the members split themselves into different groups to carry out the tasks. Several members assisted the owner in cleaning two shelters, which were a small cat shelter and a larger dog shelter. Another group was tasked with cleaning and washing several kennels housing dogs with medical issues.

Throughout the community service, members were also allowed to play with the dogs and take pictures with them. They learned a lot about the history of the dogs at the centre and how the shelter managed to save these mistreated and abused dogs. All the members had a wonderful time assisting the owner and playing with the animals at Second Chance Animal Society. Before departing from the shelter, members took a group picture with the animals along with the head of the shelter to capture some memories of the first Minor Community Service Project of our fiscal year.
