Dear Nan,
We are having a great a holiday here on the Gold Coast. Yesterday we went
to the Movie World.
When we got up in the morning, it looked like rain. After a while the cloud
disappeared. And it became a sunny day. We then decided to go to the Movie World.
The first ride I went on was Lethal Weapon. Next I saw the Police Academy
show. After that I had lunch as I was really hungry. Meanwhile, Mum and Kelly
queued for the Batman ride.
About one o’clock we got a light shower of rain but it cleared up soon
after. We then went on all the other rides.
It was a top day. See you when you get back.

Dear Dr. Hambali Sahali,
We would like to invite you and your staff to visit our school SMP Duta
Bangsa, where we are engaged in an exciting service learning project.
Service-learning is a teaching method that engages our students in solving
problems within their school and communities as an integral part of their
academic studies. It is hoped that students master important curriculum content
by making meaningful connection between what they study and its real-life
applications. Besides, students become more effective citizens through acts of
kindness, community stewardship and civic action. This effort is made possible
with support from Learn and Serve America, a program of the corporation for
National and Community Service.
May we suggest that you visit us on January 11, 2010 at 10 o’clock? This
will give you an opportunity to see our program in action. We have also invited
our community partners, members of the local media, and several families of
students whom we serve. They are eager to talk to you about the importance of
investing in service-learning activities in our local community.
We have enclosed a one page profile of our program for your reference. I
will contact your office within the next two weeks to follow-up on this
invitation. Again, we do hope you can join us on this occasion.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Andy Sehatapi
