4. Giving tree appeal For many years AISM students have been a part of the Giving Tree Appeal. This is an opportunity for us all to reflect on our own lives and the lives of others, to recognise and be happy for where we are and to extend that feeling by reaching out, with compassion, to others who are less fortunate, and make their Christmas this year as merry as ours will be. Our school has a long standing relationship with the Good Shepherd Centre, a non-profit organisation that cares for, houses, educates, feeds and takes care of over 80 children and young adults aged 4-21 As you can see, once again your generosity has been amazing and we would now like to invite Pastor Jacop from the Good Shepherd Centre to the stage to accept these Christmas gifts that we hope will put a smile on the faces of the children and young adults that live at the centre.
