Magic

From a simple, unadorned tree.....
...to a beauteous sculpture of rhapsodizable pulchritude.
Such a humongous metamorphosis certainly did not transpire naturally.
It was our toil, perseverance and cast-iron will that worked magic on the tree.
Now that it has blossomed into a fruitful success, our blood, sweat and tears certainly paid off.

Haha... I know... too much of exaggeration... EXPLANATION:

The red lines winding round the black branches represent the hostile environment that the poverty-stricken people reside in. They also symbolize their grief, hopelessness, powerlessness and helplessness.

However, amid all the doom and gloom, there's still hope. And the hope is represented in the form of a sunflower. Albeit in all the harshness of the wilderness, the sunflower grows magnificently. It is to instil in us that, hope is the elixir of life; hope gives the power to rise. In the face of undue circumstances, it is hope that drives people through all the ferocious darkness and gloom.

Then, what is the HOPE?

Education is the hope and we had a self-made book and three toy pencils to represent education. Education is capable to bring about a transition in the life of those poverty-stricken people. It is the impetus. It is the most excellent and complete platform that allows them for self-actualisation. Through the knowlegde gained from a wholesome and better education system, they would know about family planning, they would know about their rights, they would know about the better ways to lead a healthy lifestyle, they would know almost everything eventually. This is really VITAL!

Last but not least, we also had a man falling and a massive hand wanting to catch it. The falling man represents the needies desperate of help while the massive hand represents Almighty God. God, in our opinions, is everything. It is omnipotent and omnipresent. Through the creation of this sculpture (the falling man and the hand), we hope that all of you will understand that God creates every human being with equality. No disparagement and no prejudice. It is beyond a shadow of a doubt that we hold on our shoulders the obligation to offer our aid to the needies. We have the responsibility to better their lives and they too own the rights to live a better life.

an ACTION sows a THOUSAND FRUITS.
