It was a pleasure to give out the CAS award for service for my first time as CAS coordinator. The award went to Heidi and Oliver in grade 12. Both of these students have been active in many CAS projects including MUN, Amnesty and Career Day.
In grade 11 the award went to Laura, Thea and Charlotte for their work with the 'Compassionate Journeys' organisation. Most recently they organised students to participate in a fun run to and collected over 1000 crowns from sponsors. They hope to do this again on a bigger scale next term. They will let you know how you can participate either actively or by sponsoring. They money they raise will go to help buy bicycles for teachers in Ghana to assist them in getting to school.
Remember that you can do CAS over the summer. Heidi, in conjunction with Amnesty, is looking for people to help out in the Pride Parade that is held in Stockholm each summer. It's from the 27July to the 2nd of August. Send an email to her school email address - just type in Heidi and it will come up - if you are interested.
Remember that http://www.volontarbyran.org/ is a good place to find volunteer work on Sweden. There are quite a few events that are happening over the summer that you can volunteer for.
Enjoy your holidays.
See you in August
