“Globally, the world has made incredible progress against malaria. But we are still too far from the end point we seek: a world free of malaria. Every year, the global tally of new malaria cases exceeds 200 million. And every 2 minutes, a child dies from this preventable and treatable disease. The damage inflicted extends far beyond loss of life: malaria takes a heavy toll on health systems, sapping productivity and eroding economic growth. Ultimately, investing in universal health care is the best way to ensure that all communities have access to the services they need to beat malaria. Individual and community empowerment through grassroots initiatives like “Zero malaria starts with me” can also play a critical role in driving progress.”

On the 2nd April Leman 1 organised a Boarding Concert in aid of the Tomas Costa Appeal.

It was a great night which raised a significant amount of money for the cause.

Our thanks go out to the performers;

and also to all those who attended and gave so generously.

We ended the concert with a Charity Auction which exceeded our expectations.

A few people enjoyed our act…….. 😉

The boys are showing no nerves back stage just before they entertain the crowds.

This week it was the Persian New Year. To celebrate this the students were treated to a lovely meal last night in Geneva. Everyone reported enjoying the food, company and atmosphere.

In addition, the rest of the Boarding Community were able to taste Iranian food during our weekly Tuesday International Cusine. It was very nice to try such food and to celebrate with friends.

Léman One sent Adam, Daniel & Joao to investigate Rome.

Their visit consisted of the Colosseum & other ancient artifacts.

As well as taking in the Italy vs France Rugby Union game, which Italy unfortunately lost but not without an explosive performance.

Afters many rounds, the volleyball final took place Monday evening.

Taha was proud to be taking part with his team `Iranian Beasts`
