Yesterday Nov 6th was the event I’ve been waiting for; it was none other than: THE OVC CHRISTMAS PARTY!!!
For the past 2 weeks or so at school we’ve been collecting clothes, which were donated by each interact club member in Mrs. Henderson’s room.
Ultimately, the clothes drive was a big success and we collected heaps of clothes for the Orphaned Vulnerable Children, subsequently the clothes became their Christmas gift.
We’ve been planning this Christmas party for sometime, and our goal was to make it unforgettable for the OVC kids.
We met at school at 9:30 sharp, then we were all assign into groups such as group 1, group 2, and group 3 by president Anisha before we headed off to collect the OVC children. Once the kids came to our school campus, they were also set into groups; shortly we were assigned to groups of OVC children.
The plan was to rotate the three groups at every activity on campus, which were the swimming pool, the basketball court, the MPR drawing, breakfast at the cafeteria and a little bit touring of ISK to the kids.
The kids were so contented and overexcited; they had a lot of fun. Most of them didn’t know how to swim, so they were scared to get in the pool, but soon they overcame their fears and swam cheerily with the rest of us. At the end of the day I felt good, especially knowing the fact that we, the interact club gave hope to these kids.
Yesterday was all about giving the kids ‘LOVE’ AND ‘CARE’ something they lack and are earning for.
