Unicef club serves the community

The CVHS Unicef club is an organization that works to help people in need by offering education, emergency support, and a host of other essentials. As a club based on the larger foundation, it is a group of students who come together and supply help for those in need. Unicef is mainly centered around community service and community hours.

“You get to learn about bigger world issues. And at the same time, you also get to participate in volunteering events while giving back to the community. I also think that it widens your worldview a lot in general,” said President of Unicef Isaac Kan, who spoke on what makes Unicef special.

Kan made a point about how this club can change people for the better, molding them to be more understanding and considerate. Because Unicef is centered around global issues, it’s great to know what people can do to improve the state of a problem.

Having plenty of students who want to support kids all around the world is beneficial for the organization and for themselves. As a way to contribute, there are plenty of events hosted within the club to raise aid to those in need.

  “Our greatest event usually throughout the year is ‘Trick or Canning,’ where we get a lot of cans that we can donate,” said Jalen Vongnarith, public relations manager. “Everyone has a lot of fun because you get to dress up as well.”

The events that occur help engage students to participate in giving to the community, whilst enjoying what they do. These kinds of occasions are what get members going, knowing that what they do can have a meaningful impact on people’s lives.

“I really like the impact I can see Unicef making on my community. After helping out the community, making a difference is very fulfilling and feels so rewarding,” said Nicole Levano, public relations manager.

Being a part of an organization that works to better communities reveals a lot about members’ character, including their level of consideration. Unknowingly, members’ involvement in community service can have a positive impact on their future and present life.

Everything that Unicef does is valuable. And the people who want to change issues facing modern society ought to think about becoming a member of this inspiring club. 

On Oct. 25 Unicef hosted a Halloween volunteering event, “Shriek-A-Rama.” This event is Chabot Elementary School’s annual Halloween event. At this event, volunteers will ran games, shared information, and did many more activities.
