A group of residents from House of Draco at Residential College 4 recently took part in a heartwarming volunteering event at Mercylight. The volunteers engaged in hands-on tasks aimed at enhancing the lives of animals under Mercylight's care.

The students were assigned various responsibilities, including walking the dogs, preparing food and medicine for the animals, and maintaining the shelter's facilities. They also actively participated in cleaning up rubbish and waste materials across the shelter, contributing to a cleaner and safer environment for the animals.

Mercylight, driven by a team of passionate animal lovers, has been making a significant impact since its establishment in 2009. Beginning with a small group of volunteers who fed stray dogs in eastern Singapore, Mercylight officially became a non-profit organization in January 2015. Their mission is to promote compassion for animals and prevent cruelty through a range of welfare services.

Through their involvement in this volunteering event, our students not only positively impacted the lives of animals but also gained valuable experiences in teamwork, responsibility, and empathy. Such initiatives highlight the power of collective action in creating a more compassionate and caring society for all.

This event organized by House of Draco further emphasizes the importance of community engagement and active citizenship. It showcases the willingness of our students to contribute meaningfully to causes they are passionate about, fostering a sense of social responsibility and empathy within our community.
