After Movember was over, we haven’t been as busy considering that it was our biggest and main event of the year. Our GC is now focusing on smaller projects, such as raising awareness on the different issues related to cancer. I’m currently working on a project with my group that aims at educating the rest of the school on the socio economic factors that may get in the way of cancer treatment. I love working collaboratively with the rest of the GC, as we all learn a lot from each other and are able to come up with many creative ideas as a group. Although there isn’t as much going on at the moment, I’ve stayed persistent and committed to the GC, trying to still come up with interesting ways to keep the GC going til the end of the year.

Cancer Awareness- Dec 2020
We’ve already completed Movember and I’m so happy with how it turned out. We obviously did have to overcome a few obstacles due to the covid situation, as there were certain things that we were no longer able to do (such as bake, which was initially one of the main sources of donations). Nonetheless, we managed to raise a very large amount of money for the CPAA, which was enough to fully cure approximately 15 cancer patients in India. I’m so proud of what we’ve managed to accomplish as a group, and it definitely does feel extremely rewarding to see the impact that we’ve managed to have on these less fortunate kids. It was overall a great experience, and I’m really glad that I got to take part in this project. Learning about these children was a great eye opener on this world, and I’m considering joining a Focus Group next season in order to educate myself more on these different topics.
Fitness with Simei Centre- Dec 2020
It’s been a few months of service and we’ve already managed to create two videos for the centre! It’s a fun process and I find it nice to see the whole group working together to reach a common goal. I’ve also managed to learn a few things myself, such as how to make origami and I’ve also learnt how to edit videos in order to make them more enjoyable to watch. My partner, Jimin and I, were in charge of organising the first video as we had to decide what kind of video it would be, as well as teach the rest of the group 3 different types of origami, and eventually having to edit the video by the end of the week in order to have it sent out by then. I’m very proud of the video that we sent out as I put in a lot of work in the editing, and I’m looking forward to receiving feedback from the centre. After making this first video, I learnt that communication with my partner is key as we need to make sure that we are on the same page, and it is also very important to be organised as we only have a limited amount of time to complete the videos.
Cancer awareness- september 2020
LO5. A group experience where you will collaborate with others…
I had my first cancer awareness meeting this week. As a group, we started to think of the different ways in which our GC could advertise for Movember. We’re trying to do this as effectively as possible as we want it to be stuck on everyone’s mind in the next coming month. Movember is an annual event in which men grow their mustaches in order to raise awareness on various male health issues. It’s very nice working in such groups, as you feel like everyone in the GC is on the same team as we are all here to support the same cause.
