AIS Global Issues Network Saigon

The AIS Global Issues Network is a voluntary, student-led network that believes in the power and responsibility of each individual to create change for a better future. To this end, we aim to address Global Issues as we aid our members in exploring and developing their individual talents and passions.

Over the past 4 weeks, we planned a lot of things. All of our members have strong passion in making the community a better place! To speed up the improvements we have divided into two groups. One group is raising awareness of how bad the overconsumption of sugar is, and the other is strengthening the importance of wearing helmet.

The sugar poster team had collected ideas for sugar poster. Everyone had high quality creative ideas. It was hard to choose the best one, because every single one was overestimated!! End of enthusiastic and competitive competition, we have decided to combine everyone’s best idea for our sugar poster.

It was very shocking to us when students didn’t wear helmet when they were on motorbike! In a response to this, helmet awareness team considered several ways to effectively strengthen the importance of wearing helmet. Out of many creative ideas, we decided to make a video that shows why we should wear a helmet when driving motorbikes in an entertaining way. Next week, we will start filming and our goal is to show all AIS student, so that every single student get into action!  

At the end of the meeting, we took a group photo that reflects our unity :)

To promote road safety (and our corridor traffic), Band Aid has graced our C3 block with lanes and directions for students to follow. Support the project and try not to simulate road accidents ;)

Wouldn't it be nice to have a mini rain forest outside our school? Help the Animal Foundation create a sustainable environment for the city-dwelling birds! Drop packets of seeds or grains in our donation box in the reception area from the 12th of March until the 20th. The bird feeders will be located in the trees outside the school. We hope to make AIS a safer shelter for the birds, and who knows what kinds we'll attract!

Want to get rid of your old books in exchange for new ones? GIN is hosting Preserve the Pages, where you can donate your books that you no longer read and swap it with another person's. From 27/10 to 31/10 we are collecting books at the cafeteria during lunch, and you can collect the week after next (10/11 to 14/11). The more books you give, the more you receive back!

SHOUT OUT TO THE PROJECT LEADERS!

The GIN booths were a huge success and managed to attract so many students, yet due to the large capacity it is not expected for all of the new people to stay throughout the year. Therefore I'd like to remind you guys that if you decide to remove someone from your group you must notify the executives immediately at our official GIN mail (see contacts tab).

Activity Report

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

The activity report form! (I'm bad at this)

Please fill this form out after each activity your group does as it will help us executives keep closer track of your progress, whether it is a fundraiser, trip, volunteer work, that kind of stuff. 

Cheers!
