Hi and welcome to Circle K International of HELP University College!

Circle K International is a collegiate service organization with a worldwide membership that promotes fellowship, leadership, and service.

Although each Circle K club is sponsored by a Kiwanis club, college and university students govern the organization on all levels.
A board of officers on the district level, and an International Board of Trustees comprise the leadership teams.

Our Mission :
Developing college and university students into a global network of responsible citizens and leaders with a lifelong commitment to service.

Service Mission:
Above all else, CKI is a service organization whose members are dedicated to improving their schools and communities.
Virtually any unanswered need is a potential opportunity for Circle K commitment and dedication.

The CKI Service Initiative, Focusing on the Future: Children, was designed to involve all Circle K members in projects that address the problems and issues that face children worldwide, ages six-13.
Through personal interaction and public awareness, Circle K members are enabling children to develop the skills and ideals necessary to be successful.

A little about the past:

In 1936, the Kiwanis Club of Pullman, Washington, established “Circle K House” at Washington State College, which was rented to young men who needed assistance to attend college.
For ten years the "Circle K House" became affiliated with a Greek letter organization, although it continued to be sponsored by the Pullman Kiwanis Club.

Eleven years later in 1947, Circle K transitioned from a fraternity to a service-oriented organization.
That year, during September, the first Circle K club similar to our present day organization, was chartered at Carthage College in Carthage, Illinois.

In 1949, two more clubs were organized, including one in Canada, making Circle K international.
There were 147 Circle K clubs in 1955, when Circle K was officially recognized as a sponsored organization of Kiwanis International.

Here at HELP University College our regular meeting time would be on every Wednesday from 12.30p.m to 2p.m.
However the venue varies from time to time.

If you are interested in joining us, please feel free to contact us at cki_huc@yahoo.com

Live to Serve, Love to Serve

I'm HIV+

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONYV37ImAHw&feature=related

It's an english song about HIV + African women and kids by Annie Lennox. So unfortunately I cant post the video here, then I just put the link and some part of the video here. Personally, I don't really love this song at first, but after I watched the video and listened carefully about the lyrics, it's actually quite touching and motivating.

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

What won’t kill you will make you strong

Sing, my sister, sing

You don’t need to disrespect yourself again

Don't hide your light behind your fear

Now women can be strong

You’ve known it all along

What you need is what you haven’t found

So…

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

What won’t kill you will make you strong

Sing, my sister, sing

Women are the mothers of the world, my friend

I tell you womankind is strong

Take your beautiful self up to the heights again

(Ooh)

Back to the place where you belong

So…Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

What won’t kill you will make you strong

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

What won’t kill you will make you strong

Sing, my sister, sing

Sing out

Sing loud

Sing proud

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

Sing, my sister, sing

Let your voice be heard

Melissa Riggio

This is a real story written about a teenager named Melissa Riggio that living optimistically despite the fact that she has Down Syndrome.

When I first started to work on this story, I thought maybe I shouldn’t do it. I thought you might see that I have Down syndrome, and that you wouldn’t like me.

My mom thinks that’s silly. “Have you ever met anyone who didn’t like you because you have Down syndrome?” she asks me. She’s right, of course. (She usually is!)

When people ask me what Down syndrome is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome. A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things. (For instance, some of my classes are in a “resource room,” where kids with many kinds of learning disabilities are taught at a different pace.)

When my mom first told me I had Down syndrome, I worried that people might think I wasn’t as smart as they were, or that I talked or looked different.

I just want to be like everyone else, so sometimes I wish I could give back the extra chromosome. But having Down syndrome is what makes me “me.” And I’m proud of who I am. I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.

A Lot Like You

Even though I have Down syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, like who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters—except when they take my CDs without asking!

Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aide who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That’s exactly what happened this year!

But sometimes it’s hard being with typical kids. For instance, I don’t drive, but a lot of kids in my school do. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to, and that’s hard to accept.

Dream Job: Singer

I try not to let things like that upset me and just think of all the good things in my life. Like that I’ve published two songs. One of my favorite things to do is write poetry, and this singer my dad knows recorded some of my poems as singles.

Right now someone else is singing my songs, but someday, I want to be the one singing. I know it’s going to happen, because I’ve seen it. One day I looked in the mirror, and I saw someone in my head, a famous person or someone who was somebody, and I just knew: I will be a singer.

It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and be myself, I can do almost anything.

See Me

But I still have to remind myself all the time that it really is OK to just be myself. Sometimes all I see—all I think other people see—is the outside of me, not the inside. And I really want people to go in there and see what I’m all about.

Maybe that’s why I write poetry—so people can find out who I really am. My poems are all about my feelings: when I hope, when I hurt. I’m not sure where the ideas come from—I just look them up in my head. It’s like I have this gut feeling that comes out of me and onto the paper.

I can’t change that I have Down syndrome, but one thing I would change is how people think of me. I’d tell them: Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. Most important, just be my friend.

After all, I would do the same for you.

What is Down Syndrome?

Down syndrome is an intellectual disability that about 5,000 babies in the United States are born with each year. A person with Down syndrome has 47 chromosomes, microscopic structures that carry genetic information to determine almost everything about a person. Most people have only 46 chromosomes. It’s the extra chromosome that can cause certain physical characteristics (such as short stature and an upward slant to the eyes) and speech and developmental delays. Still, people with Down syndrome are a lot like you: They are unique people with strengths and talents.
