Food drive for homeless (3 hours Service) (Out-of-School) -2-

Yesterday, I've visited the orphanage we visited before and I saw many familiar faces. They were so happy to see me once again. We brought Vietnamese Noodle, biscuits, jelly and some home baked bread from home to share with them. While the leaders of the group set up a corner for food, we played and shared personal thoughts with them. They shared their feelings of life in orphanage and I also shared my thoughts about my life. Exciting part of it was that I taught them some Korean greeting words. They respected me like if I was their teacher and it really felt good. I had an urge to be a teacher in the future to help these young kids. Its a great experience for me to try out these kind of work and I am really enjoying it. Next time, I am going to try  my best to teach them more Korean greeting words because many Korean groups of people support this orphanage. It will be really useful for them to use it to their next Korean people they meet.

Global Issue Network (GIN) (15 hours Service/ 5 hours Action) (In-School)

We had few  GIN meetings at school lunch time and we also talked about how we should raise funds to prepare for any natural disaster that may occur this year. We came up with the idea of Bake Sale, Pay to Dress up, Secret Santa and i think they are fantastic ideas to raise funds and to let school know what our team is aiming for. We are always researching and are always keeping up to world news and that hope there will be a chance to help out soon.

Terry Fox Run Vietnam (2 hours Action) ( Out-of-School )

I helped Mr price with organizing minor events in school and I am really proud of our school. Even though I did not see many AIS students on the day of the Terry Fox, we all contributed on donating and I am satisfied on the effort we all put in. Seeing participants wearing Terry Fox t-shirts were really amazing, and in my opinion this event is fantastic because we can feel proud of our self on doing a good job. I would love to participate in this event every year and support this Event.

AIS Dance Competition (17 hours Creativity) (In-School)

Even though we had very little time to prepare for our First House Team Competition, I personally thought it was awesome. the Team had many difficulties however everything went smooth and well. We had to organize our costumes, come in every Saturday and Sunday for rehearsal and we all deserve a night out. Yr 7-8 Phoenix had problems with team members and wanted to Quit, however as a senior, we encouraged them to dance and they got 1st place. Same for yr 9-10, they had arguments and conflicts however was also ranked 1st. I am really proud of my house team and I think we all did a great job. We are ready to take our next challenge.

BBGV Fun Run Vietnam (2 hours Action) (Out-of-School)

I participated in the Fun Run for about 5 times now and I had so much fun. I reached the finish like at about 36 minutes and wanted to come in first from AIS however my friends came in before me. I think the activity itself was a great idea and i think everyone had fun. It was so good to see people from AIS wearing AIS Sports T-shirt, i felt really proud of our school. Next time in Terry Fox, my aim to to come in within 30minutes and 25minutes next year.

Food drive for homeless (3hours Service) (Out-of-School) -1-

This time, we went to a different place in Ho Chi Minh City to give food to the citizens there. The leaders of the group cooked the food while we did our jobs on getting Rice and other dishes ready on Plate to serve. There were more elderly than young people there and we also gave out Vitamin pills for the elders. After the they finished eating, we also washed the dishes and clear the table with clean cloth for next week's session. I felt really happy, helping the people in Ho Chi Minh City because its 2013 and no one should be Hungry. I believe the fact that everyone should be treated fair and doing this kind of community service is a magnificent job.

Firstly i joined this group for CAS but honestly, after participating and giving  out food to the people in orphanage and other people in Vietnam made me feel really sad. Last Saturday, i went to a Orphanage in Bien hoa, many kids welcomed us. we shook hands and gave out foods me brought in. The foods were Vietnamese Noodles, yogurts, biscuits, and some sweets. The kids loved it. it was really sad to see kids younger than i am without parents. I really felt the importance of my parents and how lucky i was. It felt really good helping kids, since I believe in Karma, if i make others happy, i believe that happiness will comeback to me. I honestly think this activity was an awesome opportunity for me and I've realized so many things I wasn't aware of.
