of student organizations throughout the world with the same goal; to help our local
communities. Every year our ISC GIN students organize different service-based activities. Over the years, some of these activities have included – maintaining a no-plastic policy in the school campus, organizing a shopping experience for the children from local homes, visiting elderly
homes and orphanages, organizing animal food drives, fundraising to help provide furniture for a few local schools, and many more.
On Saturday March 2nd 2024, GIN students at the International School of Curacao held their 10th annual clothing drive, where they provided a shopping experience to children from different local foundations of our community. The event is known as the ‘GIN Shopping Experience’. The ISC gymnasium was transformed into a store; around 700 children from our local community were invited to the clothing store and given an opportunity to have a real
shopping experience. It was a great success. The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience of picking clothing, toys and accessories of their own choice and liking totally free of cost. They were also given a snack and a drink to complete the experience of shopping.
Our GIN students added a sparkle of joy into the lives of these children. They started preparing for this event a few weeks in advance. They collected, sorted and set up the gym to make this experience a reality for these children. GIN students – we are very proud of what you do.
We would like to thank our generous ISC community and Mrs. Kavita Chugani for guiding the students and everyone who has so generously contributed to this cause. Particularly we would like to thank Curacao Cares/ CURA DOET, in the person of Mrs. Vicky Trinidad for the support in coordination of this year’s event. This is a non-profit event, which we host for the sole purpose of aiding those in need and giving back to our community.
