This first meeting of our final year was really amazing: we rapidly decided on what our goals and plans would be for the year, and they are as follows:
-We are going to support the GISS conference by sponsoring one or more of their Golden Hearts Scholars with fundraising events such as bake sales. This opportunity to do some good amongst Kenya's young population is really inspiring, and I know this, as not only am I student leader of the GISS committee that looks after the scholars, but I have participated and led a bi-weekly orphanage trip to Kangemi, one of Nairobi's slums, to work, play and interact with the children and students who live there.
-We are going to help Interact with their OVC trips, also with fundraising events.
-We are going to partially stop tutoring, as last year's tutoring program fell through. This is a real shame, as it brought a lot of help to struggling middle-school students who we helped. We will still be tutoring a few, but as the majority of the group is comprised of Seniors, we unfortunately do not have the time for this particular activity.
I have high hopes for our future inductees, as this year should be a good one for ISK's National Honour Society, and I am proud to be a member of this prestigious society.
