This year I have decided to join the Community Service Council for middle school. I have loved influencing the younger kids to help out whenever they can and during the process they realize how much fun it really is. We have the occasional council meeting where we talk about upcoming projects. We become really aware of what’s really going on in the world. But when we aren’t having council meetings, we are in classrooms with the fifth, sixth, and seventh graders wrapping Christmas gifts or putting together food bags, etc. One really memorable moment this year was when Rev. Guchienda came and talked to us during chapel about the lack of clean water in his home town in Kenya. He brought a bottle of water full with the water his town was able to get and everyone was shocked at how dirty it was. That was the week we decided to give up bottle water and donate all the money we would’ve spent to build a well for his community.
