Update on Secondary Production

The play was fantastic. The auditorium was packed. It was a success. People came to complement me after the show and reviews from students were very positive. My performance was exactly what I wanted it to be. My character was a "Gangster" and teachers were contemplating how could actually be an Italian thug if I wanted too. It’s great to see how your acting comes across to other people. I can only thank my teacher and director Mr. Mather for his patience and understanding. I hope to be part of other plays in the future. Unfortunately this was my last at The Overseas School of Colombo. But this is not the last you will hear of me.

Update on Habitat Build for Seniors.

 

The Habitat build was successful. We engaged with the community and other construction workers in mixing cement and digging a foundation for the community hall. This will also be used a s a school for little children. In the picture below you can see the kids dressed up. They performed a dance for us as a thank you gift and gave us flowers. It was really nice to see how all the children and mothers of the community come together and put on a show for us. I enjoyed every minute of it.

The hard work and back pains the next day were all worth it.



SAISA Housing

This weekend is the SAISA tournament for track and field. It will be hosted at our school The Overseas School of Colombo. As I was on the Basket-ball team last year, Mr. Shipley trusts me and knows I will be suitable to host kids in my house because I’m a senior. I will be hosting three kids. Two of them are from American origins and the last is Swedish. I have hosted before (last year) but I only had two kids which wasn’t much trouble for we played together and had the same schedule. This year it will be quite different. I no longer am a part of the SAISA and driving them early in the morning will be a challenge. Although I am excited to see what they are like and how they act when overseas. It is something I am looking forward to and I am glad to help Mr. Shipley with housing issues. I am also happy that he trusts me. He gives me opportunities to talk in front of the whole school in assembly and be part of his "show". This is great experience for me and I hope more events will come up in the near future.

Senior Habitat Build

For our last semester in OSC, our Habitat group decided to do a build with seniors only as we are leaving soon. The build will be on the 16th of march. It will be my third build and I am very exited for it may be our last. My goal when I go back to canada is to join this organisation if possible. Building and helping is two things I truly enjoy doing. I am looking forward to this experience and hopefully gain something from it.
