There are a lot of students who need help financially,” commented Dainy. Seeing the need, Dainy gathered her friends and all nine of them; Att, Pouna, Jessy, Monta, Jimmy, Tresor, Thaphaung, Naw Thien and Eric worked vtogether on the Giving Hope project a month ago. Mrs Jan Shipton and Mr David Tan served as project advisors.
In pairs, the group members visited each dorm and explained the project to students during dorm worships. Upon listening to the explanation, the students began contributing money in various amounts to the Giving Hope members. “We also visited each room so that they [students] don’t miss any opportunity to participate in this cause,” added Dainy. Since they started, the Giving Hope project has raised up to 10,000 baht. This is good news to students who are in need! For students who would like to find out more information on how they can receive this aid, see Mrs Jan Shipton at the Counseling Department at the Student Center.
Dainy, in her appreciation, said, “I’d like to thank all the students who contributed to this project, and also my members who believed and volunteered to help out in the Giving Hope. Without everyone’s contribution and participation, this project wouldn’t be successful.”
I looked at the Giving Hope handmade circular leaflet that has “We Make Things Possible Together.” In it, a particular quote stuck out. It says: “If everyone gives one thread, the poor man will have a shirt.”
I believe this quote illustrates the idea behind the Giving Hope project – if every Mission College student contributes financially, the needy students will have some money to help them through college.
Students never fail to amaze me whenever they initiate a humble cause. Listening to Dainy talk about the Giving Hope project, a fund raising project run by students for needy students, made me proud of her and her members, who selflessly took this plan under their wings. I am sure my colleagues would feel the same way too that we have students at Mission College who are caring for other students’ well-being.God bless the Giving Hope project!
