Project trip to Uganda 2013 - a unique experience

Group picture with one of the Straight Talk Clubs in Pakwach

Tender Talents Magnet School performed a show for us

In August 2013, I went on a project trip to Uganda, together with two other youngsters and our leader. We spent 14 days there to start a new project. This project focuses on improving the structure of an organisation called Straight Talk Foundation (STF). STF is an organisation that has around 800 clubs all over Uganda. The aim of STF is to teach young Ugandans about issues such as sex education. There are many myths in Uganda about different sexual diseases, and therefore many Ugandans do not know what the diseases actually consist of, which is quite a serious problem. 
This is what STF is trying to avoid by teaching the young Ugandans about the reality of, for instance, sexual diseases. However, the structure of STF is very insufficient, which has led to the collapsing of approximately 500 clubs during the last two years. Therefore, the project that we are now working on, is to improve the structure of STF to, among other things, avoid clubs from collapsing. 
During the first week in Uganda, we travelled to Pakwach, which is in Northern Uganda, and to Bushia, which is in Eastern Uganda. Here we visited different STF clubs, to get an idea of how they keep their clubs running and how effective they are. In all of the 11 clubs that we visited, we experienced this enormous happiness and gratefulness from the youngsters, because of what they have gained from being a part of a Straight Talk club.

The second week was spend in Kampala at Namboole High School, where the bootcamp was held. Three representatives from eight different regions attended the bootcamp. The aim of this bootcamp was to teach the representatives how to guide other Straight Talk Clubs and create new clubs. By doing so, the structure of STF will be improved, and less clubs will collapse. 
The experience and knowledge I have gained from my trips to Uganda and from being a part of the danish organization "Slænget" is simply unique. 

Handball coach?? are you the next?

Jeg ved, at I på Nyborg Gymnasium har en gruppe elever der gerne vil udføre en del frivilligt arbejde. Her er det, jeg vil høre, om I har nogle unge, der gerne vil være håndboldtrænere/hjælpere i vores lille klub Vindinge Boldklub Håndbold.

 

Vi har børnehold fra de helt små (U4) og op til U12 (dvs årgang 2001-01). Her vil vi meget gerne have hjælp og vi er sikre på, at hvis blot engagementet er der så skal vi nok lære de unge lidt om håndboldtræningen, hvis ikke de i forvejen kender til det.

 

Vi har hjemme i Vindingehallen; Skolevej 15B ca 5 km fra Nyborg centrum (ved Vindinge skole). Som udgangspunkt træner vi om tirsdagen og torsdagen (alt efter hvilke årgange der er tale om) og så spilles der kampe primært om søndagen.

 

Om de unge kan/vil deltage til alle træninger/kampe eller kun nogle af dem kan vi sagtens aftale individuelt.

I forvejen har vi to trænere hos os der pt. går på STX i Nyborg.

 

Håber at høre fra jer og ser frem til at se nye ansigter i trænerstaben J

 

 

Venlig hilsen

OD DAY

http://www.od.dk/about-international

Every year tens of thousands of Danish high-school students give a day of their education in order to raise funds for an education project in the developing world.

On that day - the Dagsvaerk Day - students take on all kinds of ordinary and extraordinary jobs for a day. Some do a day's work in a factory; others take inventory, tidy up old archives or do cleaning work for companies or in private homes. Some make money busking or selling coffee as street vendors while others tour kindergartens performing children’s theatre shows written by the students. Some work as babysitters and others do odd jobs in private homes. All of these activities are directed at one common goal: to raise money to ensure that young people in the developing countries receive an education.

Who are we?
Operation Dagsvaerk (litteraly: Operation a Day's Work) is not a traditional relief organization. We want to challenge the popular media image of people in the developing world. We want to show that people in the developing world have dreams and hopes as well as human resources to match. They deserve a chance to put their resources to use and realize their dreams. Public awareness of the developing world is low while knowledge is scarce and littered with prejudices.

A crucial element in Operation Dagsvaerk's campaigns is to inform the Danish youth of the challenges and problems facing the projects country as well as the historical, cultural and religious context within which they exist. The campaigns consist of a three-month educational process leading up to the Dagsvaerk Day fundraising.

Operation Dagsvaerk produce educational materials and arrange educational events as an alternative to conventional teaching methods in the Danish high-school system. The quality of the teaching material is ensured thanks to the assistance of teachers and scholars who place their vast knowledge at the disposal of Operation Dagsvaerk. The aim is to engage the students in discussions and debate on issues concerning developing countries while motivating the students to participate actively on the Dagsvaerk Day.

Space science

Dear CAS coordinator and IB students                                                     

Some of the IB CAS students at Grenaa Gymnasium and IB World School are interested in space science and would like to collect money - primarily at our school - for the Danish space program called Copenhagen Suborbitals. I write this letter to inquire if there are other IB students here in Denmark who would like to participate in this project as a part of their own CAS activities.

Copenhagen Suborbitals is the only open source space program in the world. It is financed by donations and sponsorships only. Today 678 private persons, primarily engineers and private enthusiasts, pay 100 kr/month for economic support. There are also companies and financially resourceful private persons who assist with one-time donations or with specialized equipment for rocket and space craft production.

It took some time before the organization got the respect it deserves but today it receives global attention. With sufficient support Copenhagen Suborbitals may very well have the world’s by far cheapest rocket launch system ready in about 5-10 years. If this happens the implied economic paradigm shift will revolutionize the space launch business and make it possible for universities and high schools to be involved in actual space science.

The IB students of today will therefore most likely even benefit from this service themselves – if they are interested in studying space related subjects or even working in the future space industry. If for no other reason the space industry is globally known to be a solid engine for economic growth.
