“传递同一个梦想”| Share A Dream

“传递同一个梦想”项目为世界各地的社区带来积极和持久的改变。

9月12日，全球知名高端学校经营者诺德安达教育集团（NAE）发布了“传递同一个梦想”慈善活动平台的影响力报告。作为集团慈善事业的组成部分，学生和教职员工在2018-2019学年共募集超过650000美元的资金，以及高达 76000小时的志愿服务时间，这其中也有我们宁波市奉化区诺德安达学校的学生筹集的资金，我们为这些极具爱心的孩子和家庭感到骄傲。

鼓励学生回馈社会，是诺德安达教育的一部分。“传递同一个梦想”就是这样的项目。其在线平台就是学生和教职员工募集资金和开展志愿服务的工具，通过此能够帮助到全球的社区。通过这个在线平台，所有诺德安达学校可以规划和开展慈善活动，并在报告这些活动对当地社区的改善。

NAE首席执行官Andrew Fitzmaurice指出：“学生是未来的希望。我们相信他们今天所学到的技能和创造力，会把这个世界变得更加美好。”

他还说：“学生和教职员工的志愿服务和资金募集卓有成效，我们引以为豪。这不仅仅是他们课外活动，更是学生教育必不可少的一部分。”

从温德尔米尔预备学校学生的“圣诞分享”食品收集活动，到休斯顿英国国际学校8年级学生发起的回收活动等，全球800多个不同活动，成就了诺德安达76000小时的志愿服务。

布拉格英国学校为难民儿童组织了捐款捐物活动，作为其全球挑战活动“儿童对儿童”项目的一部分。他们把募集的玩具、益智游戏、美术用品连同学生写的信件，一同装进7年级学生设计的手提袋，作为欢迎礼包发放给那些孩子们。

瑞士诺德安达Champitett学院的学生前往泰国开展了志愿者服务活动。在大山深处的阿卡族部落的村庄里，学生们在40度的高温下每天工作8小时，协助建设当地小学的学校设施。这对改善当地儿童教育条件提供了很大帮助，当地的村民对此非常感激，因此邀请学生们参加了全村举办的庆祝活动。

来自英国河内国际学校的志愿者使用他们筹集到的资金为Duong Nhan公社的1000多名孩子修建了操场。这个公社的发展主要依赖农业，自身收入几乎没有盈余，没有条件建设这样的新设施，因此新操场受到了当地的热烈欢迎。

Share A Dream platform brings positive, lasting change to communities around the world.

Nord Anglia Education (NAE), the world’s leading premium schools organization, today published the impact report for its Share a Dream outreach charitable activities on 12th September. During the 2018-19 academic year more than US$650,000 was raised by students, teachers and staff at NAE schools as part of ongoing philanthropy efforts across the organisation. In addition, 76,000 volunteering hours for good causes were recorded, including a part from NAS Ningbo and we are so proud of having such caring students and their great parents.

Share a Dream encourages students to give back to communities as part of their education. The Share a Dream online platform equips students, teachers and staff with a host of fundraising and volunteering tools to support communities across the world.  Using the platform, NAE schools plan, execute and report on the ways they are affecting change.

Andrew Fitzmaurice, Chief Executive Officer, Nord Anglia Education, said: “Our students are tomorrow’s change makers and we believe in nurturing the skills and creativity they need to make a difference in the world.”

“We’re proud of the incredible volunteering and fundraising efforts taking place in our schools. These are much more than just extra-curricular activities; we view these efforts as an integral part in any student’s education,” Mr Fitzmaurice said.

The 76,000 volunteering hours amassed were made up of over 800 different activities — from goods collection like the “Share your Christmas” food drive supported by students at Windermere Preparatory School, to advocacy projects like the recycling campaign led by Year 8 students at the British International School of Houston.

The Prague British International School organised a donation drive for child asylum seekers as part of their Global Challenge Children to Children project. The donations of toys, educational games and art supplies were given in welcome packs alongside letters written by the students and tote bags designed by Year 7 pupils.

Students from NAE College Champitett travelled to Thailand for a humanitarian trip. Whilst there, they worked eight-hour days in 40-degree heat to help finish the primary school facilities in a remote Akha tribe village in the mountains. The villagers were very grateful for everybody’s help towards improving the conditions of the local children’s education and the students were invited to attend a celebration ceremony hosted by the whole village.

A team of volunteers from the British International School Hanoi built a playground for more than 1,000 children in the Duong Nhan commune using funds they had raised. The new playground was warmly welcomed as the commune relies heavily on agriculture and there is little surplus income.
