This is the story of Ghaith. Ghaith was a ten year old boy from Aleppo, Syria. At the age of six, his town was demolished by Syrian forces who bombed the area suspecting the presence of rebels. As they tried to flee, he was forced to witness his little sister’s death, as his own home collapsed over her. He and his family had to leave everything behind and go to a refugee camp at the Syrian-Jordanian border, the Zaatari Camp, where they stayed there for three years during which his father lost a battle to malaria. At the age of nine, he was moved yet again to a town with shared houses for refugees. At around the same time, the ISG Schools District sponsored a trip to the Compassion Summit. We met Ghaith when he was 9 years old in the Compassion Summit. He had an upbeat personality with a lot of hope despite everything he went through. He’d always crack jokes and try to make things funny. He had a huge amount of passion for Football and Art. As part of our project, we attempted to reconnect with Ghaith this year, to have him share his story to the world. We were met with the news that he passed away from fever as his mother couldn’t afford his medicine. Ghaith should’ve been saying these words. Ghaith should’ve been the one sharing his own story.
So having said his story, we vow never to forget his smile, his interests, and his dreams. We stand in solidarity, and in a moment of silence, in the name of Ghaith. #gslgoals

Mutfaktan çıkan çiğ sebze ve meyve atıkları ASLA 🙅♀️ çöp değildir! Biz okulumuzun mutfağından çıkan bu atıkları yeniden toprağa kavuşturmak için kompost ♻️ yapmaya başladık bile. Bu hafta 5 bidonumuzu da hergün çıkan atıklarla doldurduk. 🤯 En önemlisi, bidonumuzda karbon ve azot dengesini tutturabilmek için çiğ atıklara saman, kuru dal, 🍂 çim, vb bahçe atıklarını da eklemek gerekiyor, böylece doğal gübremiz yavaş yavaş oluşmaya başlayacak. Takipte kalın😉
••••• Raw vegetable and fruit waste produced from the kitchen is NEVER 🙅♀️ garbage! We have already started making our compost ♻️ from the waste that is left in our school’s kitchen. This week, we filled all 5 bins with these wastes. 🤯 Most importantly, in order to keep the carbon and nitrogen balance in our bin, it is necessary to add straw, dry branches, 🍂grass, and other garden wastes to the raw waste, so that our natural fertilizer will begin to form gradually. Stay tuned 😉 isikkent_egitim_kampusu

"CMath (from its full name “Communauté Mathématique”) is a non-profit organization whose aim is to promote mathematics and science education in Burkina Faso by giving chances for quality education to all. Our goals in organizing the first National Math Olympiad of our country include addressing the problem of gender stigmatization in STEM fields and creating a broader universal acceptance of scientific disciplines in our community."

Introducing Enlighten from Colegio Anglo Colombiano in Colombia 💡😎 They are one of this year's GSL Global Goals Competition finalists. Find out more about their project below 👇
"The Enlighten initiative partnered with NGO ‘Give Power’, multinational company ‘Solar for Schools’ and solar panel manufacturer ‘Spectrum’ is focused on sustainable development and education. Through the installation of solar panels we seek to empower unprivileged communities and give them access to basic resources, such as electricity, food safety and storage, water availability and internet connection. Our impact area is ‘La Guajira’ , a very poor region in the north of Colombia, and specifically the satellite schools of the ‘Institucion Cabo de La Vela’. Likewise, we have also done the due diligence to implement solar panels, alongside the Sustainable Development club in our school to promote environmental awareness at school."
To enter the competition next year your school will need to join the new GSL Membership. Find out more about how your school can sign up on our website: //www.globalsocialleaders.com/membership/
