FIRST DAY!!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to the first day of GIN Conference!

The conference officially start at 5:00 pm, a beginning for many great ideas to be put into work for the next 2 days. Our open ceremony was welcomed with many stories being shared from the head of SSIS, Sarah, Debby and a very special guest from a social worker who has been actively volunteers to help blind people in Vietnam for 15 years , Ms. Grace. Right after the ceremony, sorting out members for GANG group was filled with shout and scream as GANG leaders tried to gather their members. The excitement continues toward Dinner as the air is entertained with student's music performances and GANG group such as Psychological Disorder 2 (being extremely loud). Finally, the day end at 8:30 PM with the first Gang Session.

Photos had been uploaded onto our GIN tumblr page,ginsaigon2016.tumblr.com. Click on the link and find the media tab. It will redirect you to the photos session.
