May 8, 2015

Dear Friends,

What a joy was to see so many of you at the last meeting on May 5!
It was the best way to finish a year in your company, with all your smiling faces following our talking and talking.
I was about to tell you that this is my last year at AISC - for the new parents I'm Silvia the tall curly hair Italian Secretary of the PCA - but I was not sure if my voice could bear the brunt of the news...so I foster the communication to this blog!
Many of you already know that: it was kind of a last minute decision and thinking of leaving India, the School, the friends...made the whole family very sad! 
As expat, we are all aware of that, this is our life, one day will be the last...but you are never really prepared to that!
Sure is that I will miss my life here in Chennai so much and I will always think about this experience as one of the best in my life. 
Chennai and the School gave me so much in these years, I will always have a special place dedicated to it in my heart!!
I really hope to manage to stay in contact with all of you, wonderful people.

Moving on to the very important communication for this week:
As you all know already we are having a

****BAKE SALE at school **** - TODAY 8 May- from 2:30 until everything is sold! 

We wanted to take the chance to make a small difference for the people of Nepal who are suffering as a result of the earthquake.
We planned to have a HUGE bake sale with your help to raise money for this cause!
We asked EVERYONE to bake or buy baked goods to sell at school today.
The Event will be in the area in front of the Administration Offices, but also in the Elementary Area and next to the swimming Pool!
We hope you BAKED BAKED BAKED and that you will BUY BUY and BUY!!
Please help to make a small difference for the people of Nepal.....and spread the news among all your friends.
Thank you!

All the collected money will be transferred to the Lincoln School in Kathmandu, Nepal, that of course is aware of the most needed way to invest our fundraising.

OPERATION SMILE

This year, Operation Smile is conducting a yard sale on Friday 15th, May to raise money for cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries. Please donate items in good condition that you no longer use at home for other AISC families/maintenance staff to purchase. You can simply place the items in bins marked Operation Smile Yard Sale placed at the high school office and reception, the middle school office, the elementary reception, the iHUB, the cafeteria and the high school library. These items will be sold by Operation Smile volunteers and the profits will go to the organization. Or, you can purchase a table for Rs. 1500 and sell your own items and keep the proceeds of the sale. If you wish to buy a table or if you have any questions please contact Nivi Sriram at snivedita@aisch.org.
