The message behind the Yellow Ribbon Project is simple. It is one of acceptance, second chances and most importantly, HOPE. Hope for the ex-offenders and their families; hope for all those who made a mistake but are genuine in turning over a new leaf; and hope for those who believed in giving everyone a second chance to change and become contributing members of society. For this year, Yellow Ribbon Project 2005 will be launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loongon 3rd Sep at the Tie-A-Yellow-Ribbon-Walk.
Tie-a-Yellow-Ribbon-Walk on 3 Sep 05 (Launch event) will be flagged off by Prime Minister Lee at 8.00 am. Venue is at the vacant land next to the Old Changi Prison wall and highlights are as below.
* PM will walk into the prison and collect handmade ribbons from the ex-offenders
* Every participant will then have two yellow ribbons ??the first is to be worn as they walk the extra mile??from Changi to Pasir Ris. This shows the importance of building bridges of hope between offenders and society. At the end point, Pasir Ris Town Park, participants will tie their other yellow ribbon onto designated Yellow Ribbon Trees, even as they enjoy the post-walk programme and entertainment.
* The Trees. At the end of the walk, the Yellow Ribbon Trees, with ribbons intact, will be distributed to key locations in the different CDCs, where other members of public can also hang their ribbon onto the trees. This further creates a ripple effect of awareness, acceptance and action.
Special goodie bags are also up for grabs for the 1st 6,000 registrants.
