Helping Hands

So far we have been done a cupcake bake sale at school where we raised money for the local community in Pala - U which is the charity we are working with currently. We also visited the village and decided on what to do as our next step what is our solution . we have seen what's needed to be done and we talked to the local community and come up with an agreement.

Laying the path for a healthy society

The aim of our project is to bring awareness to the current generation about their modern lifestyle and how it affects their health and manner of Living. While sharing this, we also want them to know the fact that how healthy the 2people of the older generations were. The modern food habit of our generation lacks nutritious diet leaving an unhealthy younger population on which the country confides.

The Red Wrigglers – One step closer for a greener world

We've noticed that in our local community (school), there is a lot of plastic waste (that often doesn't gets recycled) and leftover food during break time (banana peels, oranges, mandarins and more) because of a student or worker's negligence. To combat this, we've decided to start collecting any plastic containers from around the school, so that we can clean them and use to grow onions.

Changing the world one flush at a time!

Our goal is to save as much water around our school as possible. To achieve this goal, we are making DIY toilet hippos which effectively are recycled plastic bottles filled with sand and put in the cistern of a toilet. By doing this, the amount of water consumed for every flush is reduced by nearly 25%.

Green Worriers – Mukesh’s story

In my personal experience I have seen a lot of change in the society and that change is all for the better good of the society and the environment. I remember once in Singapore at the beach a sperm whale washed up at sea. when I found out what had caused the death, I found out that plastics by the kilo were found in the whale's tummy.

Can we fix it? Yes we can!

In this project, we focused on the correlation between quality education and proper learning environments. We have noticed several issues in our school’s nursery, seeing that is cramped, unorganized, and lacking several essentials that are necessary for the development of the students there.

AQUA SAVERS

Our project mainly talks about lessening the amount of water used, since Lebanon is suffering from deficit rainfalls. We are going to talk with Beirut municipality to do this project on watering plants in the streets, by automatic watering system As Third Culture Kids, we know how it feels like to be discriminated against and we have decided to help others who face the same problems.

Our Journey to Reduce TCK Discrimination

For the GSL Global Goals Competition, we chose to reduce discrimination around the world. Our main focus is on Third Culture Kids (TCK) discrimination. As Third Culture Kids, we know how it feels like to be discriminated against and we have decided to help others who face the same problems.

Let everyday be earthday

I think all the students studying in GIIS are incredibly lucky, because there is this great atmosphere of learning about the things you should care about the future, and yes plants are surely one of them. My school is having a chart which indicates that we should reduce carbon foot prints and the school also supports in a nature friendly environment by growing plants in the herbal garden.

Vertical Garden

Within our school we identified a need to have a green area which would offer support for the local bee population, would get students involved in a micro ecosystem, would provide an area for potential IB IA’s of sixth form students and would in a small way make the local environment a cleaner, greener place.

Aquacadabra

Water waste is an extremely important issue in our modern society with more than a quarter of the clean, drinkable water our homes employ being poured down the drain every day. Not only don’t we realise the cost of this practice, but this also contributes to our growing ecological footprint which, inevitably, leads to the overall unsustainable ecosystem that is our planet.
