Sunday December 6th 2015, volunteers from Dreams We Believe In (DWBI) took a day trip traveling up to Baan Gerda to celebrate christmas with the orphans living with HIV/AIDS. The day started early in the morning by packing presents; provided by the NIST community onto the bus. We then proceed on a three and a half hour bus journey. As we arrived at Baan Gerda, the NIST volunteers were excited to see some familiar faces again. Once everyone had settled down, we began with participating in activities prepared by the NIST students that went on until lunch. After lunch, the Baan Gerda children took all the volunteers on short tour of their home. Later that afternoon we handed out gifts to all the children at Baan Gerda. They then opened all their gifts e. It was an extremely good opportunity for all the coordinators and volunteers alike as this was our first time traveling to Baan Gerda.
