Hello! I am Liem and Samir is my co writer. On the 15th of November, The entire SALT team and the 8 house leaders went to the Halogen Foundation Singapore to celebrate NYLD, or National Young Leaders Day. We were listening to a presentation about breakthroughs. We listened to 4 presentations from 4 speakers who have all done great things in their life. Things like Doing what you were told you can't, Trying no matter what, Doing something new even though you aren't sure if you are good at it and following your passion. We enjoyed every presentation and we had fun.
On Saturday, the 12th of November, members of the ISS community got together to meet at Singapore Food Bank. There were many staff members, ES, MS & HS students and their parents. We worked together to help sort the food in the warehouse. Each food item had to be checked. Food items that were expiring soon were sent to the pantry for immediate distribution to families.
It was a great way to build our ISS community and help local Singaporeans get what they need. Pictures to come! ISS is now an official sponsor of Food Collection Boxes for the 2016-17 school year. We have collected monetary and food donations for the Food Bank in the past and are excited to keep making our relationship with the Food Bank stronger. |
