Yesterday was International Day at school, and so everybody got dressed up in their national/traditional dress. I was representing Scotland, part of the UK.
I was helping out with the 11th grade drinks stand for around 2 hours, hauling drinks and selling. Doing this was hard work, but it was really rewarding, as we sold all of the sodas in under an hour, and people kept coming for the juice boxes. :)
After that, I spent half an hour at the passport station, where we looked after the children who came to get their passports, and were rewarded with either a sweetie, or a keychain in the shape of a globe.
I also stayed until 6 PM to help clean up with my mum at the Europe 'Café'.
All in all, it was a really good day, and it just shows how interconnected our world is, and how stupid it is to wage war on one another, and be racist, or prejudiced, because we are all the same. We all came from the same place, and we all share the same planet.
I know that these types of events, when all the parents and students come together, are really important if we are to remain a unified and globally aware community.
