This is Vanessa, who took part in the #GSL World Catalyst in 2021🌟
For her Independent Challenge, Vanessa decided to tackle the issue of food poverty in Hong Kong by volunteering at a local food bank, making food parcels and raising awareness in the community. 🤩
The Catalyst course provided Vanessa with the skills, knowledge and confidence to start this project! You could also be empowered and supported to bring about positive change in your community.
The next #GSLCatalyst is taking place 28-30th July and there is currently an Early Bird price available! 🙌

Artık işimize yaramayan, kullanmadığımız, evin bir köşesinde duran bir eşya başka bir kişi için çok değerli olabiliyor.♻️ Gaia Couture GSL Ekibi olarak bunu esas aldık ve bu süreçte ilk projemizde EÇEV ile işbirliği yaparak Aralık ayında okulumuzda düzenlenen Kış Kermesinde❄️ öncesinde bağışlarla topladığımız ikinci el ürünleri satarak bir ortaokul çocuğunun bir yıllık eğitim masrafını karşılayacak gelir elde ettik.📚 Bu projemizin sonunda Ortaokul Müdürümüz ve aynı zamanda EÇEV Yönetim Kurulu üyesi Sayın Fulya Erkmen’den sertifikamızı aldık. Bu süreçte yanımızda olan herkese teşekkür ederiz!🙏
Items that we no longer use, the ones that collect dust on the corner of our houses can be quite valuable for someone else. 🛍As the Gaia Couture GSL team we shaped our project around this concept and we began with a collaboration with EÇEV -NGO-. As a result, we were able to fund a middle school student’s one year scholarship. We were able to achieve this by the second hand sale we organised at the Winter Charity Sale❄️. At the end of this project, we got our certificates from Fulya Erkmen, who is the Middle School principal and also the Board Member for EÇEV. We’d like to thank everyone who supported us through our first project!📚💪

The GSL World Catalyst programme supports young people aged 11-17 to pursue their passions and create positive change on a local and global level 💥🌎 This is Elvis, who promoted recycling among his community in Mexico after taking part in a GSL Catalyst course in March 2021.
He gave conferences about the importance of recycling to young people between 15 and 17 years old, inviting them to bring their recyclable waste to a specific place, which was then collected ♻️
Would you like to use your passions to create meaningful change this summer? 🙏✨ Then don't miss out on our upcoming programme, which is taking place from the 27-29 July.
