🏆 1st in Singapore. 14 and under.
Organised by the National Organ Transplant Unit (MOH), the Live On Festival invites youths from schools across Singapore to explore organ donation and transplantation through art and writing - and this year, one of our own took top honours nationally.
Congratulations to Phoon Jia Xuan (2CMT) on clinching 1st Place in the Junior Category (14 years and under) of this national essay competition! 🎉
Jia Xuan wrote from the perspective of the organ itself, tracing its journey from donor to recipient. It’s a difficult voice to sustain, and he carried it with a tenderness and clarity that stayed with everyone who read it. His essay was even singled out by the Guest-of-Honour during his speech at the award ceremony.
Watch the highlights from the ceremony below, and take a moment to read his essay in full. 📖
So proud of you, Jia Xuan. You truly are 💚
