"Social outcasts - breaking the chains". The title of our project is symbolic for the juvenile offenders breaking out of their circle and reintegrate into society. We find that the juvenile delinquents have been “ostracized” by our society. In a way, they have been forgotten. We started on this project wanting to find how juvenile offenders are rehabilitated and how they are treated and their feelings after the rehabilitation, and see how we can improve their lives. We have noticed that some of these offenders are treated badly and unfairly, due to the fact that they were offenders, and thus unable to get into the right track of life and ruin the rest of their lives. This is very disappointing and the offenders should be given a second chance. Thus, we would want to think of ways to change the opinions of the society so that the offenders would be given a new lease on life. This, we think, would be very beneficial to the society, and thus decided to start on this topic.

On 28 March, we visited a Yellow Ribbon seminar, titled, "Reconection - When YOUth tie the Yellow Ribbon!" It was quite an enriching talk and benefited much to our project. We even get to hear a music, played and composed by a ex-offender and interview Miss Gayle Phua, from Thai Express. Here are some of our pictures we took during the seminar:

I've registered at xanga, livejournal, myspace, facebook, netlog, flixer and perfspot as well
but they got awfully boring.
before you tag
I'd like to make a handful of things clear to all taggers.
■ Strictly no anonymous taggers allowed. (I will not entertain anonymous tags no matter how obnoxious.)
■ Vulgarism of all forms are prohibited.
With that said, you may commence with your nagging tagging.
