CDL is collaborating with an NGO called Serve the city (http://www.servethecitygeneva.ch/)  on the weekend of Oct 1st. There shall be a series of Geneva-wide community service projects, with enough variety for everybody to find something they like.

The various activities are:

  • serving at the soup kitchen
  • helping set up equipment for a bike race that will raise funds for needy children
  • helping out at the bike race
  • showing kindness to the elderly in various ways
  • giving free hugs
  • facepainting

This may interest students who need CAS/REACH hours, but really, everybody is encouraged and welcome!

If you need any more info, please ask Stuart.allan@cdl.ch , Laurence.grabit@cdl.ch , or yasmeen.tawfik@cdl.ch .

For special projects/ more responsibility which could count for service hours:

  • A team of photographers/video needed for sports events for the year. Perhaps create a leader with a team on a rotating basis.
  • Sports Coaches (part of the Student Coaching Association
  • Promotion of events, posters, selling of drinks, etc.
  • Team “Managers” team members in assistance role, help with preparations of games and practices

Any motivated student should go and Coach Rob who can discuss worthwhile possibilities. Any student taking on this type of responsbility will automaticly become a member of the Students Coaching Association.
