It is a Cross Cultural Internship Program tradition to give out paper cut honors to host organizations and supporters at their annual Recognition Ceremony. The paper cut gifts are hand-made by selected students, with each year involving a unique theme. This year's theme was the Year of the Rooster, symbolizing the hope and excitement of the students as they gain new cultural appreciation as exchange visitors.

This year's design was created by Kelly Hao from Nanyang Technology University. The execution team for the creation of the gifts was made up of all Session A students and was led by Jimeng, Grace, Gutz, Julian, Ellis, Basil, Rice, Karen, and David, students from various universities in East Asia.

"Creating the paper cuts was a lot harder than I first expected it to be, but it was worth it. I really appreciate the meaningful impact that my host had on me and I wanted to give something back," said Student Leader, Julian from Nanyang Technology University.

Gutz, another student leader who attends the City University of Hong Kong, added, "I usually don't do arts and crafts. However, there was a lot of meaning to this and it was really fulfilling. I hope all the hosts will love their frames as much as we had fun making them!"
