Operation Smile - Ornament Selling (Continued)

In school today, people set up a table in the elementary school basketball court to continue selling ornaments! We sold them each at 250 Kenyan Shillings, and we were able to raise around 15000 KSH! This is more than what I had expected! HOW EXCITING! I really hope to see these kids who are benefiting from our club someday.. :)

Jazz Band - Christmas concert!

As Christmas and New Years approached, we were part of the performance group to entertain the people who came to watch. Students of ISK presented their drawings and things they made. For this performance, the beginning was a bit wavy, but as it progressed I heard the difference in sound, everyone was trying hard to show their best. The music sounded much better than when we practiced during Wednesdays and Fridays, probably because we knew we had to entertain the audience.

Operation Smile - Christmas Ornaments!

In operation smile, we are trying to fundraise money by preparing and selling christmas ornaments! This is exciting because it is almost Christmas season :) Hopefully, we can earn more money for the children! To be continued...

Mount Longonot Training!

Today, I went to Mount Longonot for the training because in about a month, I will be challenging myself to climb the highest free standing mountain of Africa, MOUNT KILIMANJARO! Mount Longonot was extremely exhausting especially because I havent really been excercising consistenty. I was a bit confdent that I would be able to finish the journey earlier than most people, but I have to say, I was VERY VERY tired. I had aches on my thighs so every time I walked, it hurt really bad :( but I rested for a bit and I tried really hard to finish! When I reached the top, there was a huge crater-like circle with a HUGE hole inside.. WOAH! AMAZING! I am now really worried about how I will climb up the highest mountain in Africa... *SIGH*

GISS - International Day

On international day, as part of the GISS leader, 24 of our leaders came up to the audience to introduce the 20 global issues. I took part of <Maritime Safety and Pollution>. This experience was really special because we got to raise awareness for the issues. We presented each issue with power and strength so I thought it was really effective. We presented it by going aroung one by one introducing our issue, then ripping the paer off in order to show that we need to get rid of the problems (We actually practiced for this quite a few times haha). I'm really really excited for this conference as it will be a huge event, internationally (actually its for AISA - Associations of international schools of Africa).

Jazz Band - International Day

ISK celebrated its diverse culture by setting up an international day. On this day, our school students, teachers and parents come to school and celebrate and share the cultures. Students had to wear their own country’s traditional clothes, and had to bring their own country’s food. As a Korean family, my mom and other Korean parents gathered and decided to bring different types of food that are famous in Korea. It was amazing how fast all the Korean food were sold, they are definitely delicious! Our jazz band performed 6 songs on this day, it is always so exciting to play the instrument in front of other people.
