1. Self-evaluation

1. What did you personally do to help prepare for the IHonor project?

Because IHonor project is a valuable event that Vietnamese people, especially young

people show the respect and commemorate heroic martyrs, veterans in advance of Vietnam

Veterans Day on 27 July, so I prepared all jobs that I had thought they are necessary. At the

starting of the project, I tried to find the Vietnam Veterans Monuments around Hanoi area such as

Hoan Kiem district, Ha Dong district or Ba Dinh district. Therefore, I could give my opinions

about the nearest place we would hold IHonor project. Since I understood the meaning of our

project is to remind people about the great sacrifice for motherland, I asked my friends, my

family if they would like to come and enjoy with us. In the role of a member of logistics team, I

gathered materials, tools like brooms, towels or garbage bags to the Veteran Memorial in Ha

Dong district and also manage and brought them back to school. Last but not least, I respected

our project by meeting my classmates on time at 7 am in schools and going as a team to the

Veteran Monuments.

2. What did you personally do during the IHonor project?

Firstly, I came to the event on time with all the materials and tools that I was responsible

for. Because I knew how the event was meaningful, I acted respectfully and politely during the

Veterans Ceremony. I was really enjoying in all the activities during the event, the song my

classmate sang, asking veterans about war stories, even I joined in singing "Nam anh em tren

mot chiec xe tang" with all members. After receiving the area my team needed to clean up, I

provided the materials, tools, mask and medical gloves for team members and volunteers. I

participated in cleaning up Ha Dong' s Veteran monument by collecting all the garbage and

cutting the grass near the gravestones. I also cleaned up almost the gravestones by towels, while

my team members were cleaning the land and grass. Then I went with all members in the event

to burn incenses for each gravestones that made me feel grateful to my previous generations

about their sacrifices.

2. Reflection on the IHonor project

1. What worked well about this project?

From my view, my class-VISK 2012B-held a meaningful event for reminding people about

the worth sacrifice of all veterans who gave up one part of their bodies or their lives for the peace

of Vietnam. Moreover, our project created good impacts on people, especially young people and

people who live around the Veteran monument, because they said thank you for our activities.

Last but not least, by IHonor project we had chance to show our respect to all the veterans,

especially we gave a hand to remind our community to never forget their sacrifices in the past for

the freedom of Vietnam, while we are living in peace world.

2. What did not work well?

I think there is a small thing that did not work well in our project. This is the micro that the

quality of sound was not good enough for audiences to listen all things the speakers said.

Sometimes, the speech was interrupted and the audience found difficult to follow it. My opinion

is we need to check carefully about the sound's quality of the micro.

3. Were there any surprises on the day of the project?

In my opinion, the most surprise on the day of the project was a good weather, although

almost day in that week were extremely hot. Therefore, all members in IHonor project had done

their jobs quickly at highest level.

4. How did IHands Company perform on the IHonor project?

I think IHands Company performed very well on the IHonor project. We divided the jobs

clearly for each department, fore example: logistics managed and was responsible for providing

materials, tools, marketing department was responsible and designed, the banners, posters,

Human resource was in charge of inviting guests and delegates. We also had IHonor rehearsal to

practice for the real event. Especially, we received the support from 20 volunteers to help

organize a successful event.

5. How do you think you are improving in your work? After IHonor project, I think I am improving a lot on taking responsibilities in any activities

I participate. In the position as a member of logistics team, I learned how to keep, manage and

provide the materials and tools for other team members. Furthermore, when I took a task to clean

up the Veterans Monument and all the gravestones, I would certainly do it. Finally, I am

improving the skills to support other members during the project, for example after finishing my

work, I went and help other teams to burn the incenses to gravestones.

6. How did you feel when we finished the IHonor project?

IHonor project brought me the feeling of respect for all veterans who were brave to fight

for the peace of next generations. Then I feel very grateful for all veterans' sacrifices for the

freedom of Vietnam, they are actually heroes for each Vietnamese people. This project also

remind me to never forget these sacrifices and I will say these to my friends, my family and my

next generations who are lucky to live in peace world. Finally, I felt that I did a meaningful work

and I am proud of myself, because IHonor project as a chance for me to show my respect to the

sacrifices of my previous generations, and a message I want to send to people especially young

people to always remember these and enhance their awareness about keeping a peace world for

everybody.
