CASL in 8:th grade

This year has been both good and bad when it comes to my CAS work. I think I've been very active in all the areas. I did two school plays, visited Turkey and had a great time. I've earned my second dan black belt in tae kwondo and participated in tournament and was the assistant coach for the ISK team. I've trained MMA all year and was also in the MS A-team in Volleyboll. We won every game except one. I've been active in both Oakland school in Ongata Rongai and Destiny school in Mathare. I've made fundraisers to pay for new rooms in Mathare, and will soon be able to build new toilets. I've worked hard for the Swedish society, but was very disappointed when they would not give me money for my project. The project I'm most proud of is the washable sanitary towels for the girls in Mathare. They are having so many problems every month with this, and most of them don't even go to school that time of the month. I feel so good to help them with this problem and it is fantastic when they enjoy the designs that I come up with. Due to this, I also learned how to use a sewing machine. This summer I will try to fund more projects in Destiny. I think I had a very active year and I worked hard. I had a few disappointments, but overall I think it's been a very successful year. It is not over yet.. over the summer I'm going to Cambridge to study drama and medical science. I hope I can post some updates on that on my blog! I'm generally happy with my work but I've had a few disappointments but that only taught me to try again and work harder to reach my goals. Next year I plan to work even harder, but focus on the school, my training and drama. I've learned that doing services for too many only leaves me tired and doesn't always pay back. I'm planning to focus a bit more next year!
