AWARE!!!

The Starfish Story from Chicken Soup

(Based on The Star Thrower, by Loren Eiseley)

A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance.As he grew closer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up, and throwing it out into the water.Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean. As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water.Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said"Good evening, Friend. I was wondering what you are doing.""I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen.""I understand," our friend replied,"but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many. And don't you realize it is probably happening on hundreds of other beaches all up and down the coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"The local native smiled, bent down, and picked up yet another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea, he replied, "Made a difference to that one!"

Project A1 - Animal Welfare

Project A1 is our first Animal Welfare project, the aim is to increase the awareness of pedigree (pure breed) dog owners. We are doing Mandarin and Malay Language subtitles for a documentary (Pedigree Dogs Exposed by BBC) and doing a very small scale sharing on the documentary. Sharing will be done in very small scale to avoid violating the copyright law.

Project duration:
Flexible

Our expectation:

Increase the knowledge and awareness of our audiences. Encourage them to share the information within their circle of friends to achieve more result.

Trailer: (From ABC TV)

What we need:

We are looking for volunteers to help composing the subtitles in Malay and Mandarin languages.

P/S: This is a non-profit project. All costs funded by project owner. No donation will be accepted. Audiences who wish to have a copy of the documentary are advised to purchase the original DVD from local retailer.
