craft club

Yesterday, I decided to make a necklace and it turned out pretty well. I even had the things that close and  open it. I put large blue beads at the start and the end and in the middle was red and green combination which looked nice. I managed to make this necklace in about 40min and was very relaxing during the time. the necklace is going to be a christmass gift and hope it will be a nice one for someone.

MUN

Last Friday, we worked on the position paper on N.Korea and I had done the outline and got most of the information before. My group found out that we had to write the paper in paragraphs and since I had done the research and put the information in easier understandable language, my partner modified the document into paragraphs and the work was handed in Monday morning.

yearbook

Last Wednesday, I laminated the posters I made and put them up all over the school. They were in colour so looked nice and I they will stay there for a long time. The advertisement is going on well and hope that the cheap prices will bring more money. We might start collecting money for the yearbook after next week.

Today, we finalised the preparations for the waffle sale and decided to make them before and just sale them during break and lunch. also the only day of sale is Thursday and I hope we get more than UGX300,000 as a increment from our last fundraiser. I already put up the posters and also announced it in the daily memo so everyone will know what is going on.

Today, I finished the bracelet I was working on last time. I used the same combination of 2 purples and a red. I made a long bracelet so that eventually, I will wound it around my arm and it worked. the bracelet wound three times and looks good. I felt good when I finished the bracelet and hope to do something different next Tuesday.

cancer home visit 11/5/13

on Saturday,I went to the cancer home with other students and a teacher. the home is in Najjanankubi on Entebbe road and the experience was interesting. first, we were taken on a tour of the cancer home and this weekend, there weren't many people. however we made the most of it and were introduced to the patients. I had baked a cake and brought lollipops while other members brought soda, waffles. We shared our food and also brought food from the money we made at school from the Poetry bake sale and the yr7 car wash. my contribution was half of the money used to buy the non-perishable food bought for the home. I found the place to offer a great service were they took the patients to the hospital for treatment and back during the week and the home was a place for rest. One of the patients was a mother of a 9months old child and was struggling to support the child when she had cancer. another was a girl, her name Immaculate, and she had cancer in her foot but it was curable and she was very happy. Also there was a boy, Allan who had a swelling in the face and wasn't happy but when we shared food, he smiled. so that is how the visit went. the next one in 1/6/13

today, i did alot of planning. the posters from last time that I sent for photocopying and laminating, I hung them up and they actually looked every nice. anyway the planning was for events coming up till the end of the term. for next week, i planned for there to be a waffle sale on wed, thurs during break and lunch. we will take orders and each waffle will be UGX2000. I will put list in register but first, advertisement. I was planning to make posters to be put up by Friday, put announcements in the daily memo's and facebook remainders. then I also planned for a car wash on funday KISU on 8th June and I was hoping to re-do the food drive with posters and boxes in every room to improve on last time's failure.

MUN

this week we were supposed to complete the position paper but I only did three quarters of it but we were given more time. N.korea my group was allowed to be inconsiderate and radical which i enjoy doing and we had a speaker from a person who lived in S.korea for the last 2 years. she said that S.Korea was very technology based using cards and the swipe method to pay for bills and entrance to appartments. she also said that N.Korea has always been trying and threatening to invade S.korea. also that N.korea is starving and they try to donate. S.korea also wants unification to better the lives of N.korea. this speech was very educational and eye opening as she told us of the Korean conflict in 1950 and today.

yearbook

this week we started to plan the advertising for the year book. the teacher put us into groups of designing posters for secondary, primary, whole school and sports. I am doing the secondary poster and finished it during the club time. We were supposed to put pictures, information and a large sign saying buy the yearbook at UGX35,000. my poster has a black background with pictures of secondary students and a little poem about memories.

Today  I made a bracelet and I mixed a red, two purples and another red. This gave the bracelet structure and when I saw it come out, it looked good. I was planning to make a bracelet that wounds around my arm about three times and then tie it together. I was on my way to finish when all the beads spilt out of the string and I had to start again. This was annoying but I sat down concentrated and finished the previous length that had just fallen out. Next time I need to put more beads and then try to tie the strings together to make the bracelet

Cancer charity project

Today we planned the activities for the cancer home and try to get more money but that was a bust. anyway the club has is getting more money for a car wash. to day I got the posters photocopied and I am going to put them up tomorrow. for the cancer home, we plan to buy non-perishable food but also bring food for them to eat. I am bringing cakes and lollipops while other club members will bring sodas, cake, oreos and cake. I am looking forward to going to the home on Saturday and hope to interact with the patients. after this visit, I should be able to plan more activities to bring in more money than this time. More UGX324,000.

MUN

Last Friday was a continuation as my group, N.Korea tried to write a position paper. This is difficult and needs alot of research, knowledge. We started but I need to complete it this week before Friday for presentation. The position paper defines and it is easier to identify allies when it is presented. The session started with a short debate on whether TV is dangerous and my view was turned down. I guess I am more of a background person. I do the work and then the other person presents. Most of my arguments are not good so I just keep quiet eventually. I will do the work needed to be presented but the presenting and answer back part is not for me.

craft club

Yesterday, we made phone bags. The procedure was quite simple, we had to measure the width of the phone and relate it to the length to get it equal. Then I cut the soft cloth and folded it. I then cut the flaps that will be used to cover the bag. I sowed the edges. I had learnt how to sow when I was ten but completely forgotten. This was the chance to relearn and it was difficult first especially when I poked my hand about four times but got the hand of it soon. I then sowed the button on the flap and all I have to do is put a hole for the button to fit in. I learnt a new skill during yesterday's session and it felt good to do something with my hands except write in a book.

During the bake sale in the poetry anthology, we raised UGX319,100. This is 55% the profit of the money we had before. the bake sale was hectic and we had many customers. Me and another club member sold the food and got another person to help with the money. I went home at 10pm and I still had h/w but it was worth it in the end. On Monday, I finished my poster about lung cancer and I need to get it photocopied to put around the school. The only time I have is tomorrow and hope to get it done soon. We have set a date to go to the cancer home and it is 11/5/13. By this time, we have to get more money and hope to have a cupcake sale this week or the next.
