Deborah Buesing and Jessie Lee perform “Make You Feel My Love”
by Adele. Aware of each other’s various musical talents,
students asked and agreed to accompany each

performances.

GIN Club, also known
as Global Issues Network, is a unique
club because it extends beyond the community. GIN
impacts the international community by working with Compassion International, a Christian based organization that supplies children with basic
necessities. Compassion International provides necessities with donations
such as hygienic items and clothes. In order to help support a child, GIN Club
coordinates fundraisers, the most notable being Acoustic Christmas.

learning from them.”

She further commented saying, “I’m tremendously impressed by the
group. They ran the show smoothly and I was only there in the background
so that the show can happen logistically.”

Aside from Acoustic Christmas, GIN Club hosts different fundraisers.
The night before Acoustic Christmas, the GIN Club sold concessions for the
school play “Here Comes the Cows”. GIN Club plans to conduct a water conservation project, alongside with other schools within the area.

When asked about what makes GIN Club so unique, Ms. Rogers responded, “I think it’s because they’re able to work by themselves without
needing any instruction, I’m really excited about what the underclassmen
can do next year.”
