Kaylee and Emerson’s Fellowship Project
Students at Samuel Wolfson School for Advanced Studies in Florida are eager to collaborate with this project to deepen their engagement with global issues. By directing their club activities, they aim to address the immediate needs of a particular community, achieving tangible results. Their goal is to contribute positively and foster global literacy and health systems. Those involved in this initiative at Wolfson are part of the IB CAS program.
Kaylee and Emerson, sophomores at Samuel Wolfson, are deeply committed to helping others. The students both participated in the H2O for Life Fellowship Program, supporting the Jhariya Gagadi community in India. The knowledge Kaylee acquired from various speakers during the last school year has significantly influenced her career exploration. Emerson is an aspiring Environmental Scientist. She believes that the water crisis is an urgent issue that everyone should learn more about and take action on.
Here are some quotes from Samuel Wolfson students:
“We will continue advising people around our school about the water crisis and what they can do to help, as well as encouraging people to donate to the H2O for Life organization. Additionally, we will keep looking for opportunities like this to learn more about environmental issues like water pollution and access to clean water and chances to take action or fundraise for good causes such as these. We also will continue doing service projects like beach clean-ups or other small things to keep the world cleaner and, in turn, keep water cleaner.”
“Our initiative involved selling cotton candy at school functions to fundraise for the Global Water Crisis. We aimed to educate at least 15 individuals, hoping they would disseminate the information to more students and their families.”
“This project impacted my view on the Global Water Crisis because I can now see that anyone can contribute to solving this crisis and that coming together to solve issues is extremely important.”
“Serving others inspires me to continue helping to resolve issues in my community and around the world.”
“Service in the context of classroom learning is important because it allows direct involvement in the issues we learn about.”
