PACE Quiz Night 2023
On the 17th and 18th of march, PACE held a quiz night organised for parents to participate and raise funds for CSB (Cahaya Surya Bakti). This event was held at UWC’s East and Dover campus. Voices with Refugees worked with PACE to help organise and prepare for the event. The concept of this event is to have parents participate in quiz game and a silent auction in order to raise funds for CSB. All the funds will go towards CSB hiring teaching staff so that the Rohingya refugees can complete their education.

What is Write for Rights?
Write for Rights is a 24-hour letter-writing marathon where we stay overnight at school to write letters to various governments around the world regarding current Human Rights crises. We at Voices for Refugees, Amala, and Traffick Light create case studies on different Human Rights abuses all around the world, and use those case studies to take real action against those violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Get Involved!
Students
Students can participate in the event at home, during breaks or during frees. During the school day, HS students will have access to the Pablo Neruda and Emily Dickinson rooms on the 2nd floor of the library during the school day, to write and submit letters.
Staff
Staff can also participate and write letters in their own time. However, teachers also have the opportunity to dedicate class time to writing letters, if they wish! HS Teachers and MS Teachers can then log the number of letters they have written on the linked spreadsheets.
Parents
Parents can also participate by writing letters at home and submitting them! Parents can submit them in one of two ways- by sending a photocopy of the letter to eastvoicesforrefugees@gapps. uwcsea.edu.sg, or ask their child to drop it off when they are at school.
