December 4th~8th was the NHS Gives Back week, where the NHS members split up into four different groups and hosted various fundraisers. The money raised would go to the hosting of the Worker's Breakfast, Hogar de Gina, Hogar de Madres Adolescentes, and Operation Smile. I was part of the Cookies and Compliments event, where students and teachers were asked to write a message to whomever they wanted to send the cookies to, and the NHS members would hand write the message on a piece of paper and deliver it with two chocolate chip cookies.
Through this event, I achieved growth in the following Learning Outcomes: 3. Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience. 4. Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaborative. 5. Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences. This event was initiated by our fundraising group, which consisted of a bunch of 11th graders. Through talking during the monthly NHS meetings and Whatsapp, we planned the event thoroughly before carrying it out without any help from others. Through this, I was able to improve my collaborative and organizational skills. The cookies were to be requested beforehand so that the members would be able to write down all the messages on cards and make the cookies on Wednesday so they could be delivered on Thursday. I went around asking for people to sign up for cookies, packaged the cookies on the day of the event, delivered the cookies, and also walked around school with Laura Barbrosa and Ale Vidal to sell the remaining cookies during lunch (there were quite a few left over cookies, as the bakers were required to make extra in case we might need more the day of the event). Through this fundraising event, we managed to raise a total of 800 soles, having rasied the most of all the fundraising groups within NHS. As a whole, the NHS had raised 1800 soles the whole week. Next semester, our comittee will most likely be hosting the Worker's Breakfast event, and I'm really looking forward to it as well. This activity helped me grow in several different areas, and it was an extremely valueable experience for me. I hope this remains as a NHS tradition at FDR in the future, as well. #Service
