NUS PEACE is a student interest group which I have been staff advisor of since they got organised in 2006/7. This student interest group caters to all animal related projects, programmes and issues in NUS through the main committee.
I am also really proud that NUS PEACE coordinates three project groups:
- NUS Cat Cafe manages, rescues, sterilises and rehomes cats on campus; conducts feline therapy sessions and cat welfare workshops.
- Paw Friends coordinates fortnightly undergraduate volunteering at animal shelters where students bathe and walk dogs, clean shelters and prepare food for our furry friends.
- Therapy Dog Programme facilitates animal-assisted, stress-relief therapy sessions for NUS students by Therapy Dogs Singapore, just before the final exams on Reading Week.
This Wednesday (26 Aug 2015: 6.00pm – 8.00pm @ LT32) NUS PEACE reviews their programs of the past year including the fund-raiser for the Himalayan Mutt Project, will report on their finances and conduct nominations and general elections and for the positions of President, Vice President, Publicity Director, Logistics Director, Cat Cafe & Therapy Dogs committee members.
If you would like to contribute to animal welfare, PEACE is the appropriate avenue for NUS students. Email them at nus.peace@gmail.com and jin them at the AGM on Wed 26 Aug 2015: 6.00 – 8.00 pm at LT32.
