I have decided this year to partake in a service (Global Concern) I feel strongly about, I have signed up and been accepted and allocated into the global concern; surfaid. This service will last for the whole year, and will take place every Tuesday lunchtime. This services name is surfaid and we strive to reduce malaria and help locals, this year in October we will be hosting an event called “swimdonesia” where swimmers (who make up most of the service) or anyone in UWC can receive a pledge card in groups, pledging to swim laps to earn money for the Global concern of surfaid. 100% profits go to surfaid; and in the service right now we are brainstorming/carrying out ideas such as:

Finishing our planning and carrying out stage as soon as we can so that we can start advertising the event/ and bring in as many people as we can to partake in this wonderful event. Last session; the chair Benjamin Lim has presented an idea of having have the pool for swimmers, to swim laps and the other half of the pool we can have obstacle floats; selling for wristbands/paper tickets for $10. We also went through the entertainment perspective and decided that since the event is 1 week before the unplugged concert, we could kindly ask the crew to perform for us/do a dry run as a form of entertainment. Or we could find a willing DJ from the DJ club in school such as one of the swimmers. I am very excited to help and participate in the service and it’s events, and am looking forward to my contributions to this wonderful global concern.
