Christmas is fast approaching. Our school is organizing a
Christmas event together with the disabled children. As we continue our yearly

to share our blessings.

| Gifts and Donation to the disabled children |
On November 27, 2015 we, the grade 11 and 12 collaborated
and started announcing and students were given a letter to be informed about bringing
unwanted things that can still be used to be donated to the foundation of “Lembaga
Daya Dharma Keuskupan Agung” which helps two hundred physically impaired and
their families. This donation
event really runs well which we could not do it without the help of our CAS
teacher, Mrs. Sheryl.

Contributions are voluntary. We asked students to bring
what is needed. Surprisingly, they donated more of what is being asked. How kind
hearted they are. These
donations then are categorize, which took approximately 2 hours for every 3
days from December 2 – 4, 2015 before we donated it to them during our
Christmas celebration on December 7, 2015.
I supposedly donated 2 L
of oils but instead I donated 4 L. I also donated story books, novel, papers,
stationeries, bag and all goods/ commodities that are written in the list. Basically
I donated everything from grade 6 to 12 lists. I felt good in giving those
items that I can share with them if it would make them happy, it would make me
happy as well.


The main objectives that we would like to
achieve are:
(1) To
develop efficient work methods
(2) To
avoid shutting it off our humanity of helping those in need
(3) To inspire those who feel
useless because of their disabilities
(4) strengthen
the links between the affordable one with those in need
(5) Promote a positive image of those who have
disability
Learning
outcomes:
- Increased
your awareness of your own strengths and areas for growth
- Undertaken
new challenges
- Planned
and initiated activities
- Worked
collaboratively with others
- Shown
perseverance and commitment in your activities
- Developed
new skills
Preparing the Christmas celebration sure needs
a lot of efforts because we need to organize from the games to the performance.
We need to involve all the students to participate in these activities. Also
making the event we really do need our teachers help. We couldn’t done it
without our teachers who always been there when we need them. We divided our
task. Grade 11 and 12 are in charge in the game division and the donation.
3
days before Christmas Celebration, we work together hand in hand and divided
each tasks. We divided our tasks with our friends in wrapping the gifts for the
disabled children, categorizing things (tea with tea, sugar with sugar etc), categorizing
the unwanted clothes according to their gender and age and put it into
specified box, putting different kind of goods in a plastic for 200 people and
the last but not the least is preparing the things for the games.
Everything
went according to our plan. We couldn’t have done it without an effective collaboration,
and a pure heart of the willingness to help those people out there who are in
need. I was very proud of the students in my school who donated a lot from
shelters to clothing. Everyone worked collaboratively and took accountability
in their roles. I hope through this service we had actually helped to ease
their economic problems and pushing the children to have a greater dreams as
well as pursuing them. Never stop hoping and believing. Have faith in it.
The
event was so exhausting but fun. It was a whole new stressing joyful experience.
I have learnt to have more faith in me and never stop believing in yourself no
matter what happens even though people keep on pulling you down, fight for it. If
disabled children can do an incredible thing such as talents to play music
instruments, we should be better than them because we have everything we need.
