曼尼特·康，蒙特利公园学校六年级学生

加拿大总督为加拿大的曼尼特·康学生颁授了蒙特利公园学校六年级学生与皇家义工奖章，以表彰她杰出的义工工作。这枚奖章是为了庆祝加拿大各地那些在自己的社区、加拿大或海外做出了重大、持续且无偿贡献的杰出义工成就。

康同学是一个天生的领导者。这在她与人合作、沟通和生活的方式中显而易见。

例如，当同龄人群体中出现困难情况时，康同学不仅愿意为自己认为正确的事情发声，还能够有效地向同学们表达她的信念。她已经磨练出了这项技能，她能够把握问题的要点，然后提出解决方案。此外，她在解决问题时也很包容，自动地让他人成为解决方案的一部分。

可以说她是一个自信而富有同情心的和平缔造者。

多年来，康同学在学校生活的许多领域展示了出色的领导能力，例如：

• 她在伙伴阅读时成为与一年级伙伴友好而积极参与的伙伴；
• 她帮助组员团结合作；
• 她在学校各种活动中担任学校领导团队的负责和积极成员；以及
• 她在晚上回到学校帮助家长们应对新技术的问题。

她的同伴们在提名她加入学校领导团队时认识到了她的能力。

曼尼特是由她的六年级老师Braaten女士提名的。提名学生必须表现出杰出的志愿精神，以改善他们的当地和全球社区。在卡尔加里共颁发了10个奖项，全国共颁发了80个奖项。

这个奖项在2016年10月25日在WE日活动之前的WE志愿者感谢晚宴上颁发。

祝贺曼尼特，干得好！

Maneet Kang, Grade 6 student at Monterey Park School

The Governor General of Canada has honoured Maneet Kang, a Grade 6 student at Monterey Park School, with the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers for her exemplary volunteer work. The medal recognizes the exceptional volunteer achievements of Canadians from across the country. It celebrates those individuals who have made a significant, sustained and unpaid contribution to their community, in Canada or aboard.

Maneet is a natural leader. This is clearly evident in the way she works with people, the way she communicates, and the way she lives her life.

When a difficult situation arises within a peer group, for example, Maneet is not only willing to stand up for what she believes is right, she is also able to effectively articulate her beliefs to her classmates. It is a skill she has honed, where she is able to grasp the elements of a dilemma, then offer solutions. Moreover, she is inclusive in her problem-solving, automatically including others to become part of the solution.

One could describe her as a confident and compassionate peace-maker.

Over the years, Maneet has and continues to demonstrate exemplary leadership in many areas of school life, such as: 

• When she is a kind and engaged partner with her Grade 1 buddy during partner reading times; 
• When she helps peer groups to work collaboratively; 
• When she is a willing and responsible member of the school leadership team in all school-wide activities; and
• When she returns to the school in the evening to help parents navigate the new technology.

Her peers recognized her abilities when they nominated her for the school leadership group.

Maneet was nominated by her Grade 6 teacher, Mrs. Braaten. Students nominated had to typify exemplary volunteer initiative to better their local and global community. Ten awards were presented in Calgary and in total 80 were presented across Canada.

The award was presented on Oct. 25, 2016 at a WE volunteer appreciation evening before WE DAY on Oct. 26.

Congratulations Maneet and well done!
