Flying Free consists of four schoolmates from Chua Chu Kang Secondary School. Their name came from a song “Flying Free” which their school’s choir sang and they wanted their project to revolve around the idea of kites. Their aim was also to use kites as a symbol of releasing and freeing the pains and suffering of children with cancer.

With the help of more than 180 volunteers, they made bookmarks, balloon-sculptures and kites to be sold at more than 10 different events at various shopping centres such as Lot 1, Westmall, Causeway Point, Jurong Point, Suntec City, etc.

They also organised two kite flying events at East Coast and West Coast Parks respectively to promote their project and their VWO to the public. Their event at West Coast Park was featured on “Friday Weekly”. Through their project, the girls also had an opportunity to work with National Library Board and Kite Association of Singapore.

Flying Free raised a total of $16,370 and helped to raise the profile of Children’s Cancer Foundation.
