"Ryan was glad that he had attended the Dog Adoption Drive by Citi, as it is a good opportunity for both mentors and mentees to bond with each other, as well as offering them an opportunity to contribute back to the society. It also matches with the values of Citi, to make a difference in our local community.
During the event, Ryan was attached to Lauren, one of the puppies from the "Action For Singapore dogs" to be adopted. Lauren is seven months old, and Ryan still can recall that when she just arrived at the Biopolis, she as very nervous and wary of strangers. But once Lauren is familiar with them, she can get super excited and playful.
As Ryan has no prior experience in handling and walking dogs, he was grateful that his mentor, Shirley, and her daughter, Jamie, have guided him to handle Lauren. He had a fun day. Ryan also wishes to express his gratitude to Citi and ASD for the opportunity to contribute back to society."
