Meeting #2: "Share your passion"

Origins of Community Service Project ideas

We have come up with a list of things we wanted to do in NHS in the future. This is the list that we asked Mr Foege to send to all us by mail. As a summary, this is what we have:

- Juanma: Penguins; Charity Water.

- Kun Hee: Spreading happiness and delivering needs (ex: wishlist from AUPI).

- Mica: Charity Water.

- Lucia D: S.O.S Fauna Marina (penguins); Gardening with kids

- Jade: Field Day (a day consecrated for everyone at school to get involved; separate into teams of different colours).

- Francisco: Charity Water; Field Day; AUPI (ex: go and play music to them).

- Nina: Help animals; Announce things through art.

- Josefina: S.O.S Fauna Marina; CAIF; Peluffo Guigens.

- Lucia P: Art mural (elementary); Charity Water.

- Jane: Art; Art gallery.

- Se Jeong: AUPI; Gardening project (expand to many people, including AUPI, CAIF, elementary in our school...); Field Day.

I have written a couple down under my name. But that does not mean I do not value the other ideas. It is just that the ones I have written down are the ones that I have a clear understanding of, and that I have things I can contribute to the organization of. Also, remember that we can all work outside of the meetings as well. We can talk at school, on Facebook... Well, you already know how you can talk to each other.

Guys, I have a little favor to ask you. Could you and your group always include me in, and keep me on top of, the things going on in your projects? That would make things easier to organize for the meetings and all. As I have said and repeated many times, I believe the job of the president is to organize the meetings, not decide what NHS will be doing. A president's job is to help others plan their ideas and help them carry it out. A president's job is to lead others towards their goals, what they want. Not to be the voice of authority that chooses to have her way. Anyway, I'm not going to give a speech.

So those were the ideas that emerged. Of course there are many others as well. But don't forget. Do one thing at a time. If we work efficiently, one project at a time, we will be able to do all the things we want to. I think that by next meeting, we might even have a project we can carry out!
