For most new high school club start ups, going overseas within a year is not exactly on everyone's mind. In fact, so bizarre was my request to gain approval to travel overseas to Vietnam next year that the principal of the school could only refer me to the "boss" - the service council.
So, here is what I prepared:
- A 9-page document used to propose the service club back in May
- Another 6-page supplement calendar outlining all our club activities until the end of the year
- The official 10-page service trip proposal
- An official letter from the school's principal, Ms. Thuy
- And, a nicely written letter requesting their approval
As much as I hate to read (or write), I can confidently say the work payed off. One more step to the approval process and off we go -- 20 kids to Ho Chi Minh City, March 2011.
