Following the Koolmarket Fair 2022 program, departing from the Primary Campuses of The Asian International School to the Orphanages of the less fortunate children, the school buses loaded with benevolence and kindness arrived at the homes of love and care. During the course of learning and experiencing at Primary School IPS, the students have been on many trips, but this was probably the happiest and most meaningful day out ever!
With the spirit of "Love Your Neighbor As Yourself" and "No man is an island", the students from the 6 Primary Campuses of The Asian International School paid visits and gave gifts to the children at Chuc Tu Orphanage, Binh Minh Special School, Long Hoa Boys Orphanage of Long Hoa Ancient Buddhist Temple, Tue Duc Orphanage of Linh Son Buddhist Temple, Dieu Giac Orphanage, etc.
Publications or television programs cannot be as real and touching as a field trip with such warm, pure and simple experiences. Unfavored by fate, some children have suffered from intellectual disability, birth defects or lacked the love of their own parents from a very young age. They even have few or no favorable conditions to study, play or live well. Their bright, honest eyes and innocent smiles when they saw the students coming made everyone deeply moved.
The distance seemed to fade away when the children had the attention, caring conversations, and learned how to communicate through gestures, eye contact, actions, and even other unique means of exchanging information. They played, laughed, talked, sang, and put on performances together as if they had known each other for such a long time. The gifts such as school supplies, books, toys, confectionery, food, etc. that the IPS students gave away in the Koolmarket Fair 2022 program will be a great source of motivation, helping the children at the orphanages live cozier and happier lives. The children’s touching stories have reached IPS students’ hearts and remained deeply engraved in their mind.
IPS Giving Back Trip is an event which takes place many times throughout the academic year in various ways. It has always been one of the extracurricular programs that the school pays close attention to during the process of developing children’s personality.
