Wells without walls workshop 

During the wells without walls, I planned a jewelry-making session for the high school kids. I had a difficult time managing the event and planning the workshop because it was my first time working as an organizer without a supervisor. I did, however, enjoy taking the lead and assisting each individual. Although managing a large number of participants was challenging for me, I learned a lot from the experience. It was also really fun to make the bracelet with my friends. This workshop's main goal was to collect money from each participant, which was then given to the orphanage. In order to raise money, I also sold stickers and jewelry that my friends and I had made. From this workshop, we made about 1000 baht. We used this money to buy some snacks and drinks for the orphanage. 

International day

During our international day, I and my friends opened a booth to raise money for charity. Our main goal was to not use sugar and make it with fresh vegetables. We have made Vietnamese rolls which is one of the traditional food in Vietnam. We earned 200 baht and donated to "Operation Smile" a nonprofit medical organization in Thailand. . Together with my friends, I really enjoyed setting up these booths. I came to understand the value of teamwork because it inspires innovation and motivates people to work together to accomplish a common task, in this case, "raising money." Although it was pretty hard, we managed to create more than 50 rolls.

Christmas booth

During the Christmas fair, we visited the Bangna campus fair to sell vegan cookies and candy canes to the primary school children to collect money for our final donation to the "Smile Operation." Alot of parents and children were interested and we were able to make a total of about 500 baht. 

I am pleased with myself for being involved in many services throughout my senior year because it helped me grow as a person and develop my geniality.
