	On 6th Sept. from 0800-1130hrs. I participated in the Yellow Ribbon Run Event at the Changi Prison . The public and the ex-inmates participated in the run. After which balloons were given free to the participants. My life is so enriched because the ex-inmate who went up on stage to give a speech said that such an event made a difference in their life . They felt the love and support given thru this event.They felt connected to normalcy. They have found a new meaning to their lives and wanted to stay that way.. This is in retrospect to the date of the BAW. Is it valid for me to choose this event or should I do another event Participating artists:	joan foo keow eng
