Our collaboration with SeeWay, our Tanzania charity partners, will see our 20 BISB students from Years 9-12 being involved in a building project connected to a local school, working with vulnerable members of village communities and spending some time on safari animal-watching.
Fundraising has been amazing this year. Students have raised over 6000 Euros to help the charity provide simple solar lighting, goat sheds (complete with goat) and smoke-less brick stoves to families most in need. Even this week there was one final push to raising more cash with a WAX OFF event. This involved 5 male members of staff losing their leg hair for a good cause. Ouch!
Let's wish bon voyage to all the participants :
Year 9: Petar Dakovski, Stanislas Potocki, Rio Berg, Kyumin Lee, Zsofia Karpati, Daria Rozhkova, Hedi Xu
Year 10: Marco Gidai, Yuxuan Wang, Olivia O’Dowd, Alyssa Ling, Julia Hetzmann, Lucia Somlyai, Anastastia Strohmayer, Antonia Rose Dear, Jiayun Wu, Xuanqi Song

Year 9 have been showing their green fingers/thumbs by trying to germinate cress seeds under various conditions, to see what is important for the seed growth.
There was more basketball on Saturday. This time our U14 Girls A and B teams had their DVAC Festival here at BISB.
