Overall, it was an unique experience because IVI is an exemplary organization that supports those that are in need and those that are incapable of helping themselves.

IVI Tour
Today, our club met at the International Vaccine Institute branch in Seoul, where IVI first started. It is a non-profit organization where vaccines are developed and delivered to developing countries in order to prevent the spread of diseases. We were lucky enough to get a tour and learned the purposes and the goals of IVI. In relation to our club, IVI focuses a lot on preventing the spread of diseases from water sources since diseases such as cholera are prevalent in developing countries. We believed that our short experience at IVI could teach us the detrimental and far-reaching effects that contaminated water can have on human health as well. Thus, it is all the more imperative for our club to focus on water filtration and the cleanliness of water as well.
Christmas for Cherry
As a club, we were glad that Cherry and her students could celebrate Christmas with the gifts our club had fundraised for. Last summer in Manila, we gave the kids simple notebooks and utensils in order to provide the basic school supplies. Then, they gratefully received the materials and we also learned a lot from the experience. It is also a privilege that our club was able to give gifts, especially during the holiday season. Hopefully, the kids were also glad to receive these Christmas gifts.
More Donations Towards Cherry
Other than the donation for the renovation of Cherry's school, the Ecosave Club has continued to fundraise money to help out Cherry.
Recently, the Ecosave Club fundraised money from a bazaar and donated it to the Open Hands Organization. With the help of our donation, the Open Hands bought school supplies such as pencils, crayons, and notebooks for 100 Philippine kids. Furthermore, they visited the children in person to hand out the gifts.
In addition, with the leftover money, we were able to renovate Cherry's house. Cherry's house was deeply in need of a proper roof, floor, and a bathroom, so over the summer, the Open Hands helped Cherry's house to be reconstructed. It was great to see a proper house being made, and Cherry's family loved their new house.
It was very heartwarming to hear the news that small improvements were happening for Cherry's family and the children in Phillippine by our small donations. We look forward to more donations that will help the education of these children.
