Last Friday was the thank you party for the volunteers at International Center. This party was organized by the board of International center and ISS. So basically it is a free buffet for volunteers and it is a platform for them to socialize and make friends. I got there about 5:45 right after it is started. I didn’t expect so many people there. But a not so small house was packed with plenty of people from everywhere. There are many people I knew before and many of them I have never seen before. It seems like make all the volunteers meet together is pretty necessary idea.
During the party, we introduced some very outstanding volunteers and staff who made huge contribution to the food bazaar and daily organizing. It is important to recognize the volunteers. And it seems like the food bazaar is also a competition for those different countries. There are several rankings, like the country raises the most money, the country with the biggest consumption of the food and so on. This event really makes the volunteers connecting. And one more thing is the food is also amazing. I didn’t get chance to taste the food during the food bazaar since I was preoccupied. But this time, I got to taste some very same food just like them presented during the food bazaar. It was a wonderful party.
There was a party?! How did I not hear about this -__- (I volunteer at the Int. Center). But it sounds like it was a lot of fun.
