Marumofase High School Limpopo

IB/CAS Proposal

Candidate Name: Enya Calibuso

Activity Project: Marumofase High School Limpopo

Date: 27 August 2014

Intro: I chose to continue volunteering in Marumofase High School Limpopo because; I found working with the born-free generation extremely rewarding. Being in my second year of IB Literature, I feel I have a lot more knowledge in writing skills to assist the students in completing their short stories and enhance their English skill to publish the book.

Targeted Learning Outcomes: I commit to working collaboratively with others to complete the Limpopo Book of short stories on the born-free generation this year. I believe not only collaboration between the AISJ students to plan and coordinate the meetings and trips to and from Limpopo but also the cooperation of the Limpopo students is necessary to produce a well thought out final product. Increasing my awareness of my strengths and areas for growth are important in the areas of patience and one-on-one assistance/tutoring for those who need extra help. In return, this will help me grow, as it is a life skill necessary when collaborating with others. I will fine-tune my writing skills and my verbal skills. I will gravitate in the strengths of the Limpopo and AISJ students to allow me to develop their strengths. By enhancing my strengths, new skills will be developed, in all areas: communication, collaboration, interaction, writing and tutoring.

This project would complete my Service and Creativity sections of CAS.

Activity Description: This year our meetings at AISJ entail the planning and preparation of the upcoming trip of Limpopo students to AISJ for our Limpopo writing workshops. Topics that have and will be covered in out meetings include: schedule for the publishing of the book, trips to and from Limpopo to work together to complete the book, fundraising, college tours, and guest speakers. I as a team member now have one year of experience, to share my expertise, opinions, and ideas that will enhance and benefit the Limpopo students and the creation of our book. As Communications Officer, I will assure that each week a bulletin is put in the morning announcements to brief AISJ on our Wednesday meetings; along with a Izindaba article at the end of each trip to/from Limpopo. 

End: This year I am looking forward to meeting the students once again. I will carry a positive attitude, a will to assist, and a welcoming smile to greet. Each Limpopo trip is an enriching learning experience for both the AISJ and Limpopo students. We will come away with fond memories, shared laughter, and expanded knowledge on both cultures.



Specific Schedule for Commitment: The AISJ students hold weekly meetings every Wednesday during lunch to plan, prepare, and execute the tasks. A preliminary date for the Limpopo students to visit AISJ to continue working on our book is set for September, 19, 2014. Future trips are in the making.
