WHO?
Welcome to the official blog of the Students For Penan Awareness Program (SPAP). We hope you can participate in this program and become a social activist for this cause, in the name of volunteerism and humanity!
WHO?
SPAP is a project created by Malaysian secondary school and college students for all Malaysian students .
WHAT?
SPAP is a new project that has been created to alert young Malaysians (and beyond) about
the injustice and issues that afflict the Penan people of East Malaysia.
WHY?
The Penan are one of the many ethnic groups in Sarawak, but are particularly marginalised and taken advantage of. They are one of the last nomadic tribes in the world, but rapid deforestation and the lack of governmental attention is pushing the Penan people and their culture into disappearance.
HOW?
We are going to alert Malaysian youths, since if affects the people of their country and they are the most influential and energetic members of society. Participate in this project and get your school/college/university involved! We will give you materials (posters) free of charge. Then organise activities such as one-day fasts, discussions, signature drives and mural painting with thumbprints to get it going. Anything thats creative and raises awareness. We'll help you!
WHERE?
All this will happen in your schools, colleges and universities. Don't forget to spread the news through word of mouth!
WHEN?
We're ancitipating this to happen as soon as possible, starting in October. The project should be in full-swing starting in January 2010!
Very important for this issue to be addressed. Design the banner ASAP & I'll code it.
