SINGAPORE: Around 638 students, together with staff and parents donned orange noses to raise funds for leukaemia, at Chestnut Drive Secondary School earlier Monday.
The orange nose is a global symbol of optimism and the organisers at the secondary school used it to raise funds for leukaemia.
Chestnut Drive Secondary School managed to raise more than S$2,500 for a Bone Marrow Donor Programme, just by selling the noses for S$4 per piece.
The school chose to celebrate Teachers' Day with this project, in order to raise awareness on how the public can help ease the suffering of leukaemia patients.
It exceeded its target of selling 500 orange noses by 138, and nosed its way into the Singapore Book of Records, with the most number of people wearing orange noses.
