Haiti car wash-Feb 7, 2010

We organized a carwash today to raise money for Haiti. the class was split into two different groups, one of them stayed here at OSC and the other group went to the IWMI. At the IWMI we washed loads of cars, we worked together to make it work, and everytime we felt like stopping, our teacher reminded us of how much Haiti needs the help and we got back to the washing. We had a lot of fun doing it too!

RCCI kids- ZOO feb 8,2010

We took the RCCI (rehabilitation center for the communication impaired) kids to the zoo today, we got paired up with one or two of them and we were supossed to show them around and communicate with them. It was hard for some people because some of the kids cannot speak or hear at all, but after you spend some time with them and talked to them and got to know more about them. Most of them were scared and nervous but they got used to us after a while, they are very nice kids and are great in their own way. I learned so much about my partner even though she could only say a few words, We had loads of fun and enjoyed working and being with them.

2009 blood drive

In 2009, AISK in Kingston, Jamaica It started at the end of January, there was a girl named Jessica, she got in a tragic car accident where he sadly broke her rib, pelvis, and ankle, not only that but one of her lungs were leaking, she lost 80% of her blood and wasn't going to make it. But when Jessica needed help, the AISK family answered her call, we had a blood drive, where people could donate blood to her, highschoolers, parents, even people from other schools came to donate some blood. she had multiple opertions and had to stay in the hospital for a long time.
She was unconscious in the hospital not only on valentines day, but also on her birthday.
She missed half of the school year and was missed by lots of her friends, everybody had their hopes up that Jessica would return to us once again.
We had a bakesale and raised even more money for her.
I went to visit her in her house and brought sometimes brought her schoolwork and helped her learn math. Once she got out of the hospital, she wasnt able to walk, and had to learn all over again.
It was heartbreaking hearing this story over and over again. But now I'm just happy that Jessica is safe and healthy.
