Thomas Hilico - Our young Guest Speaker


On April 28th, 2010, Thomas Hilico, our Grade 9, Indus student, showed that when there is a will to act, age is no barrier. Thomas shared with our enthusiastic PYP ACTION volunteer students and teachers, the Grade 9 student initiative to paint a section of the Kalahalli Orphanage. Our guest speaker inspired the audience with his simple yet effectively delivered talk and connected well with the young ones. Our students asked him many questions and also shared their own personal stories of helping the underpriviledged in their community.

In our weekly meeting, we also conducted an informal survey among our PYP ACTION Volunteer students and they overwhelmingly voted to continue the Guest speaker series. They stated that these talks informed them about things people were doing and also gave themselves ideas to serve their community. Kudos to our enthusisatic and caring young eagles!!!!
