Creativity... Action.... Service :)

Our first meeting since IB orientation was today and our chellenge was to set goals for the next few weeks, months or years. They need to be attainable yet pose a challenge. The Mama Pappa visit was the perfect way to inspire us to want to do CAS, it put most of us in a place that made us uncomfortable, angry and for the first time that trip seemed to silence us. It was that experience that prompted Ankit, Charlotte, Ruwinda and me to want to do more, want to leave the class of 2010's footprint on OSC's CAS programme, hence goal number 1.


"Over the next
two years I want to
help make the MAMMA PAPPA orphanage in
Kalutara a legitimate CAS project
that will remain in place in the
future"



I have also signed up for the Sunflower Village swimming programme for this semester, this is because i did it once before as part of Interact and enjoyed it. My goal for sunflower swimming is to be completely involved.

This year i'm also Vice President of the SGA, which is part of my service to the community. The SGA has a busy week coming up as we are hosting SAISA. Organising the disco and refreshments throughout this event is going to be difficult as i haven't organised something on such a large scale before. My long term Goals for SGA are to succesfully colaberate and communicate and to make sure the SAISA disco is done to the best of the SGA's ability.
