What happened in Action Week 2007?
To raise awareness on the importance of education, 600 people visited an indigenous settlement in the remote area of Rompin. Parents in the community expressed concern about challenges to education for indigenous children such as language barriers, poverty and children being needed to collect fruit, and high drop out rates, during the fruit picking seasons. Children participated in an art competition themed We Must Go Back to School. At the end of the programme children created paper chains in support of the Right to Education for all. There was also a Special Assembly at St Anthony Secondary School at Teluk Intan, Perak for 990 students and 60 teachers, where teachers explained the need for students to understand their fundamental Right to Education.
