Two days ago was a very special day. It was the International Friendship Day ! It was the day to recognize your friends and their contribution to your life.
Friendship helps to bring peace and positivity to the globe. Hence it is a great reason to celebrate!
Children from all over the world celebrate International Friendship Day in all ways.
This year, in Anderson Primary School, there is a donation drive to the needy families for one of the Primary Schools in Philippines. Mr. Yazid, one of our school teachers initiated the drive by asking students to donate some stationeries and used story books.
As for me, I donated three bags of used story books and a bag of new and used stationeries. Besides pencils, I donated ten new rulers, two boxes of new erasers, a few packets of crayons and colour pencils, a few pencil cases, drawing blocks and a few sharpeners. I am proud that I had done my part to help them and make these children happy.
During recess, there was a Tae-Kwan-Do demonstration in the hall by a few secondary pupils. They showed us a few ways to defence and attack. After that, a few pupils went up the stage to challenge them. Some of them were thrown onto the ground. They had put up a fantastic performance.
I enjoyed this year's International Friendship Day. It is somehow different from the previous years. I hope more students will contribute to the donations.
A pencil, a sharpener, an eraser or a used story book does not seem important and mean much to us, however, it means a lot and it is very valuable to the needy children in Philippines.
