Message from NICK ALCHIN Reading the stories in this publication is both uplifting and inspiring: we all appreciate the opportunity to celebrate the impact that our generous community has on student life and learning at the College. Through these stories we celebrate not only giving, but also the givers—those in our community whose willingness to act as agents of change has been brought to life in adventures, challenges and innovations at the College. During my first year in my role as Head of College I was grateful for the opportunity to sit down with many of you to understand why you give, and why donations to our students and our mission are important to you. Some of you shared that you yourselves were beneficiaries of scholarships, or that you come from a family where education is deeply valued. Some of you said that you are working in sustainability or innovation as a profession, and want to help our future leaders gain the skills and qualities they need to be effective in these areas, which is so important in our ever changing world. And some of you were simply happy with the education your kids are getting and want to give back and offer that same chance to others. Each of you has a story of your own to tell. Whatever your motivation, we are deeply grateful for you, your generosity, and the difference your gifts make. These stories are just the beginning. Nick Alchin Head of College UWC South East Asia

Message from SINÉAD COLLINS All the stories in these pages have one thing in common: their origins lie in acts of philanthropy from our community. The interests and passions of our parents, staff and alumni have united around the College values and ambitions, and been made manifest in College life. With that community support, the dreams of students have taken substance. As I think back on the 2022/2023 school year in philanthropy, in my mind’s eye I see parents out in force on Giving Day to support scholarships, staff giving so that students can attend our sister UWCs around the world, and alumni gathering in droves across the globe to share experiences and give back to the place that created memories and helped them on their path. I see colleagues and donors sitting together to identify how to maximise their generosity, how to ensure they have the greatest impact and how they can inspire others to give. All of this together creates a community where we can truly say “At UWCSEA, everybody’s giving”. These stories celebrate the impact of giving which allows us to do more: more scholarships, more innovation, more peace education, more sustainability learning, more of those learning experiences for our students that make the College so unique. Together, we are developing the next generation of young people determined to give back and make a difference. In a world that seems short on good news lately, here are tales to warm the heart. Sinéad Collins Director of Engagement and External Relations UWC South East Asia

Scholar graduates Class of 2023 The gift of a UWCSEA Scholarship is an incredible opportunity for deserving young students to set their futures up for success. Each year, more than 100 UWCSEA scholars are selected through a rigorous process directed by a UWC National Committee network of more than 3,000 volunteers in over 150 countries. The network seeks to identify students who stand to benefit from and contribute most to the UWC experience. Here we feature four powerful reflections of UWCSEA scholars from the graduating Class of 2023 as they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their learning and their lives. Matagari Ouattara ’23, Scholar from Burkina Faso

“The diverse communities, cultures, and economic backgrounds I’ve lived with for the past two years have prepared me well for the next chapter of my life.” UWCSEA allowed me to discover my full potential as a student, a young African woman, and as a potential world-changer. I have also influenced my peers to act with determination to succeed, by demonstrating my own perseverance. I competed on the Varsity A basketball team and was proud to receive the Most Valuable Player Award. At university I will major in Biomedical Engineering and pre-med, with a goal of helping to revolutionise Burkina Faso’s outdated medical system. There are no words that could translate my gratitude for the opportunity to come to UWCSEA. The scholarship has opened doors to a brighter future for me. Boris Romero ’23, Scholar from Bolivia

“My two years at UWCSEA have been invaluable, and I am eager to share all that I have learned when I return to my country.” I want to help other young people to be part of this movement and unite the world in ways that transcend cultural barriers. I will head to the United States for university where I will study computing and film. I also plan to develop mentoring and support groups for young people, which I hope to expand throughout my home country. Thank you for investing in my education and my future. I will be eternally grateful and will always remember this generosity. Muchas gracias!

Sofija Gribovski ’23, Scholar from Macedonia

“I truly believe our diverse backgrounds and interests mean we are more than just ‘scholars’ at UWCSEA, we are part of the UWC Mission.” The UWC system, National Committee and connections I have made are irreplaceable, and I would love to provide these opportunities for others in my home country. I hope to volunteer with my UWC National Committee in Macedonia before heading to the USA next year on a Davis Scholarship. I will study international politics, linguistics, and education. My dream is to work in translation or diplomacy for an international organisation like the United Nations. I’m immensely grateful for the support I received to study at UWCSEA.

Leon Anhalt ’23, Scholar from Germany

“My experience at UWC has profoundly impacted my life, broadened my horizon, enhanced my intercultural competence, and inspired me to possibly pursue a career that contributes to social justice, human rights, and sustainable development.” Attending a school like UWCSEA had a significant impact on my individual, personal and academic growth. The school’s focus on internationalism, community service, and experiential learning fostered a sense of global citizenship, empathy, and social responsibility. This inspired me to become an active, engaged member of my community and to work towards creating positive change in the world.

Scholar highlights The UWCSEA Scholarship Programme empowers scholars to leverage their insights and proactive mindsets to foster a ripple effect of learning and positive change within their communities and beyond. Below we share a deeper look at the stories and reflections of two scholars who have been supported by the UWCSEA community and the ways in which a UWC education is helping them to create a better world for themselves and those around them.

Meet Hamida ’24 REFUGEE SCHOLAR FROM AFGHANISTAN, UWC THAILAND Gifts from Giving Day 2022 helped support Hamida’s scholarship to UWC Thailand. When in Thailand, Hamida said that she never felt scared or unsafe. She was able to walk confidently through the streets, laughed freely and could be herself. Back in Afghanistan, she had to adhere to a multitude of gender-based rules enforced by the Taliban, and the issue of girls not being allowed to attend school weighed heavily on her. At UWC Thailand, Hamida learned about human rights, the power of education, and the importance of kindness. She shared, “this made it incredibly difficult for me to accept the fact that millions of other girls and women were denied the chance for happiness simply because of their gender.” She felt that had she not had the chance to leave Afghanistan, she may have resigned herself to the situation there. “With my UWC scholarship and experiences, I now believe that change is truly possible,” she says, “and injustices should not be so easily accepted.” Hamida has come to believe that she can make a difference, and that difference is achievable through education.

OUR PEOPLE | 9

“I hadn’t realised how much the UWC experience changed my mindset until I returned to Afghanistan this past summer,” says Hamida. “After a year at UWC Thailand, I could see how profoundly unfair and divergent life could be from one part of the world to another.”

Meet Wangdrak Dorji ’20 SCHOLAR ALUMNUS FROM BHUTAN, UWCSEA Gifts from the 2017 Annual Fund supported Wangdrak’s scholarship from 2018 to 2020. Wangdrak was a Bhutanese Scholar from Thimphu. Wangdrak’s journey at UWCSEA and beyond is a wonderful example of the enduring impact of community giving, and how it can support the growth and development of future changemakers. While at UWCSEA, Wangdrak explored his academic and personal creativity, joining the Science Society, DJ Club and Rubik’s Club, as well as discovering his love for dancing by participating in both years of the East CultuRama festival. He also led sessions for Initiative for Peace, and applied his love of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) to all his academic subjects. Wangdrak is now completing his Computer Science degree at Brown University. He has been working with the NASA DEVELOP Team, which uses Earth Observations data to support the Google Earth Engine platform to strengthen the graphical user interface. Specifically, Wangdrak’s work has focused on ensuring accurate visual representations of rice distribution trends across Bhutan, thereby helping to provide authentic cultural insights into NASA’s work. In this way, Wangdrak is applying his UWCSEA learnings and innovator’s mindset, while keeping connected with his home community.

“The UWCSEA experience was an eye-opening journey that shaped my understanding of the world. It helped nurture essential skills of critical thinking and values of compassion and integrity, all while being part of a wonderful tight-knit community.”

Scholarship enrichment Henrique ’24, Scholar from Brazil

“The Enrichment Fund will give me the opportunity to go to the Round Square Conference in Kenya. For someone interested in politics, multiculturalism, and development, this opportunity is crucial. It will enrich me as a person, and I would not be able to attend the conference if it weren’t for this funding opportunity.” The Scholarship Enrichment Programme is generously supported by annual community giving and dedicated endowment support. The fund offers scholars the opportunity to engage in curricular and co-curricular activities above and beyond the learning opportunities that are part of their UWCSEA scholarships. Students choose a variety of activities from music lessons, languages, art and dance, as well as attendance at conferences such as Model UN and Initiative for Peace (IfP). In keeping with the College’s focus on health and wellness, many scholars learn a new sport for the first time, from swimming, gymnastics, tennis and beach volleyball, to martial arts, cycling and hockey, and also attend SEASAC tournaments and competitions. The new learnings and experiences have a positive impact on the scholars who participate and will stay with them beyond their years at the College. Joel ’24, Scholar from Paraguay

“It is an amazing opportunity to be able to practise and test my ability, I have never had this opportunity before. My goal is to reach the swim team level in the future.” Anyalisa Waneloba ’23, Scholar from Uganda

“Thank you for paying for my Instrumental Teaching Programme over the last year. I am enjoying the new experience of learning a new instrument. I am so grateful for the enrichment fund. I will be graduating soon and this is one of the many skills I’ll be grateful for by the Scholarship Programme.” OUR PEOPLE | 11

UWCSEA Staff Scholarship Fund For the last 20 years, dedicated UWCSEA staff have annually supported the Staff Scholarship Fund through regular payroll contributions. Through this initiative, up to four scholars annually are given access to a UWC education at UWC Mahindra College in India and Waterford Kamhlaba UWC in Southern Africa. The UWCSEA Staff Scholarship fund is one of the many ways to support scholarships, and one of the ways staff demonstrate connection to our global community, the UWC movement, and our Mission. Meet Simon Bignell, High School Head of Grade, Dover Campus and Andrea McDonald, Middle School Teacher, East Campus. Simon and Andrea are long-serving UWCSEA teaching staff and supporters of the Scholarship Fund, and members of the 1971 Giving Society. Here they share their reflections on why they give:

Part of what makes UWC special is its Mission to unite different cultures. In our roles as teachers and boarding parents we have been fortunate to get to know many scholarship students. For more than 15 years between us, we have come to know their stories, to help guide them, and to celebrate their many successes. The scholars contribute to so many facets to our campuses; enriching our diverse culture, engaging in service and activities, and just being incredible humans. They have inspired us to do our part, as staff members, to support the Scholarship Programme. We have both been very fortunate to live and teach in many places around the world. The UWCSEA Scholarship Programme helps bring the world a bit closer in a small space. We believe that through learning about and embracing other cultures, we can achieve a more understanding, peaceful society—so that’s why the Scholarship Programme is so integral to the Mission and to all of our lives.

OUR PLANET Cultivating a sustainability ethos

Sustainability is a cornerstone of the UWC Mission. Community support allows us to develop outdoor education spaces, deepen immersive learning experiences and activate programmes that help students understand and respond to the most pressing challenges facing the planet.

OUR PLANET | 16

Green Heart The Green Heart is a multi-purpose outdoor learning space that now permanently houses Dover’s Rainforest Restoration nursery. Home to more than 200 indigenous and endangered plant species, the move to the Green Heart has spurred new activity and community engagement. The Facilities team created a rainwater capture system in the space to ensure sustainable and controlled watering for the nursery. Rainforest Restoration students worked with NParks and the National University of Singapore to apply professional learning in reforestation techniques, such as nursery management and species tracking. The UWCSEA Rainforest nursery has also been further integrated with NParks, allowing access to invaluable information on the most effective techniques to successfully cultivate seedlings and saplings for sensitive biodiversity zones. The Green Heart was always intended for education and community outreach. The integration of the Rainforest Restoration programme with this important outdoor learning space is enriching hands on learning while contributing to biodiversity efforts on campus, and beyond.

“As we roll out the new Grade 9 and 10 courses, there is more scope for ambitious teaching and learning. The nursery at the Green Heart provides both a location and cause that educators can use to create real-world learning experiences for students facing relevant problems in our community.” Judson Tomlin, Teacher of Biology and Rainforest Restoration Project, UWCSEA Dover

Zero Waste Centre Trisha, Grade 10 student, East Campus

“When it comes to sustainability and zero waste at East Campus, it was made clear from the start that the solution would require a hands-on approach.” Support from the UWCSEA community helped the East Sustainability Team explore an innovative, inclusive, and creative approach to tackle the challenge of reconceptualising the Zero Waste Centre. Originally designed as an environmental classroom for community recycling and reuse, the centre had unfortunately become too much of a collection spot for unwanted items. Project X, a team of Singapore-based design thinking facilitators, were brought in to lead a multi-day creative design and research workshop, where students, parents, educators, facilities and sustainability staff came together to shape a new vision and strategic plan for the centre. Committed to finding better solutions as environmental stewards of the campus’ waste management practices, students especially were challenged to apply their classroom research skills, to translate user experiences into impactful design solutions. Graciella, Grade 10 student, East Campus

“Design thinking was useful because it helped shift the focus from purely technical or scientific solutions to solutions that are more human-centred and user-friendly. I loved the connections I made with other teachers, peers, parents, and staff in our collective effort to make our dreams for the Zero Waste Centre come true.”

Biomimicry Grade 7 Mimic Makers participant, Dover Campus

“Mimic Makers combines urgency with agency in the hope of actioning change through a design-oriented collaboration with science and nature.” Community support has driven new programming at the intersection of sustainability and innovation. For example, this year, 270 Grade 7 students were given the opportunity to participate in UWCSEA Mimic Makers, a four-day interdisciplinary workshop on Dover Campus. Led by experts from the Biomimicry Institute and B+H Architects, students were guided on how to employ nature-inspired solutions to real-world problems. Collaborating in teams, students crafted biomimetic design solutions, such as anti-slip paving tiles inspired by frogs, and an innovative water filtration system inspired by Atlantic menhaden and oysters. Immersive experiences like these impart a profound lesson about how the world around us can actually help us to protect it. Grade 7 Mimic Makers participant, Dover Campus

“I learned that nature has various elements that can be mimicked in order to improve our world for greater sustainability.” The five winning teams entered their designs into Singapore’s prestigious Biomimicry Institute’s Youth Design Challenge. Biomimicry continues as an innovative educational programme, empowering students with creative, systems thinking skills while nurturing their commitment to environmental stewardship.

OUR PROGRAMMES Immersing students in innovation and creativity

Community generosity has a tremendous impact on our ability to weave innovation into our teaching and learning programmes at UWCSEA in a variety of ways. Through immersive student-led projects, music and the arts, innovative play and learning spaces and more, our students are challenged to stretch and grow, and develop innovator mindsets that will equip them well for the future.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 22

High School Learning Centre The new High School Learning Centre is part of Dover Campus’ commitment to the education for all learners initiative. The space was collaboratively designed by students and educators to support the learning needs of neurodiverse students, with the goal of destigmatising learning support. The Centre’s strategic, visible location beside Reception underscores UWCSEA’s commitment to meeting the needs and aspirations of all kinds of learners.

“I didn’t realise how many people in this community were like me … being allowed to be in such an inclusive space and environment makes me feel more confident.”

The Learning Centre features distinct zones, incorporating sensorysupportive modular furnishings, a garden, meeting areas, quiet reflective spaces, and a sensory dark room for immersive resets. Students drop in as needed to use the space, and more formally it is used as part of pastoral care for Grade 10 mentor groups and as a coaching space for educators to learn more about best practices in supporting diverse learning needs.

High School student user

The dedicated space has had a transformative impact on fostering best practices to support diverse learning needs. The Centre has quickly grown in popularity driven by word of mouth and regular usage, and has become a dynamic hub for students, educators, and the wider community.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 24

Innovation on Dover and East Dover: Ideas Hub and innovation At the end of the academic year, Dover Campus welcomed Luke Millburn as the newly appointed Head of Innovation. Luke has been with UWCSEA for 11 years as a Design and Technology teacher. We are excited to work with Luke across disciplines to continue the dynamic programming of the Ideas Hub, including growth of opportunities like e-sports and robotics that challenge and inspire student creativity and learning. Luke is excited for his new role as he sees Innovation as “a catalyst to engage individual passion projects and the Ideas Hub as the medium through which to support them come to life.” Luke, like many involved across our campuses in the space of Innovation programming, believes strongly that Innovation goes beyond the in-classroom curriculum. He will be working closely with East Campus Head of Innovation, Matthew Weaver to “deepen the creative well” for students by offering exciting programming that challenges students to solve real world problems through creativity, exploration, and execution.

East: UWCSEA East Innovation Under the continued leadership of East Campus Head of Innovation Matthew Weaver, dynamic programming and initiatives inspire and engage students at all levels. From hackathons and participatory workshops, to deep-sea underwater rover races and Lego robotics, students continue to be challenged to develop an innovator’s mindset and bring their ideas from concept to reality. Stand in Ovation is just one of the many examples of innovation in action on East Campus over the last year.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 25

Stand-In-Ovation Tanay, Grade 9 student, East Campus

“I signed up for this as it gives me the space to think outside of the box, tinker, and have fun! I like jazz and I want to try to mimic some of the sounds.” In collaboration with Dyson, UWCSEA East Innovation presented a unique design and music challenge this year, open to both Dover and East students in Grades 4 to 12. The task: design and create a playable musical instrument! Winners would not only have created an amazing, unique self-designed musical instrument, but had a chance to win a personal 3D design printer. Dyson engineers conducted four workshop sessions in May 2023, guiding UWCSEA students through the art and science of instrument design. Camilla, Grade 8 student, Dover Campus

“I really like design technology as a subject, and I wanted to learn more about 3D printing. I also play the violin and piano, so I wanted to combine my interests and take it into something new…” Thao, Grade 11 student, Dover Campus

“I want to make a musical instrument before I leave UWCSEA!” Participants gained insights into the engineering and design of various instruments, learning how design impacts pitch, tone, and sound development. They were also able to apply their knowledge across multiple disciplines as part of this exciting challenge, from music, to physics, maths and design.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 26

Artist-in-Residence Programme The Arts and Performance are an important part of engaged student learning at UWCSEA, and annual donor support helps to ensure dynamic programming across our campuses. The UWCSEA Foundation supports the arts across both campuses through endowed and community support. Below we share two impactful programmes that showcase the opportunities for student learning in this mission-aligned area of focus.

Dover Campus On Dover Campus, the 2023 MS drama production of “Running Wild,” featured the Foundation-supported Gamelan ensemble, led by Dover Artist-in-Residence and Gamelan specialist, Faezan Redwan. Dover Campus boasts a complete Gamelan orchestra permanently housed in the Music department, thanks in large part to donations from our generous UWCSEA community. The Gamelan is intrinsic to the islands of Bali and Java, and was integrated into every scene of the “Running Wild” performance. The student ensemble provided the jungle sounds and played the original musical score for the successful staging of this Indonesian play. Artist-in-Residence Mr Redwan also conducts regular classes as part of specific curriculum units such as the Grade 6 unit ‘Does Tradition Matter,’ which explores music across diverse cultures and challenges students to understand the authenticity of performance through visuals, sounds, and emotions. High School students delve into unravelling the intricacies of various musical styles and traditions in ‘How Music Works’.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 27

East Campus Grace, Grade 10 student, East Campus

“My favourite aspect of this project was how creative and openended it was, and how many people joined in providing ideas to create the mural … the experience of being able to work with my peers and also an artist was a very special opportunity.” To enhance the atmosphere of the entrance from the East Campus bus bay, the East art team leveraged the longstanding philanthropically supported Artist-in-Residence Programme, to enlist the expertise of Phil Jones, a renowned New Zealand artist who fuses fine art and street art techniques. Exploring the concept of an underwater scene, art students worked with Mr Jones in a dynamic and transformative creative process to free-hand sketch, draw, and map out a mural design that would follow the stairs from the bus up into the classroom spaces. Students learned to control the flow and direction of spray paint, and to successfully apply their designs and concepts directly onto the wall. The project emphasised the importance of collaboration and community perspective-taking, as students had to consider the impact on shared spaces that touch many in the community. This project allowed students to gain valuable insights and inspiration into creative expression, drawing, and community art while honing and building their artistic skills and techniques. OUR PROGRAMMES | 28

Dover and East playground spaces Dover Campus Generously supported by the Parents Association (PA) Dover and the broader UWCSEA community, the Dover Primary School worked with key stakeholders to develop a treehouse playground concept that increases exploratory play, while meaningfully connecting students to nature and friends. Wanting also to build authentic connections with local cultures and traditions, the treehouse concept—with hideaways and elevated platforms made from natural materials—was chosen taking inspiration from the Orang Laut tribe. The people of the Orang Laut tribe are indigenous to Singapore, Malaysia and the Indonesian Riau Islands. Orang Laut means ‘sea people’ in Malay. They built their homes along the coastlines on stilts with levelled platforms to stay dry during wet seasons. The Orang Laut outdoor learning and play space immerses students in local cultures and landscapes, while creating a space for students to enjoy collaborative play and shared experiences. Primary school students love the concept—climbing, exploring, and playing together as part of their daily playtime, as well as before and after school.

OUR PROGRAMMES | 29

East Campus The East playground was funded by the College in partnership with philanthropic support from our generous UWCSEA community. Innovation takes many forms at the College, and community giving has been critical to the development of new play and learning spaces that foster collaboration, creativity, teamwork and independence. The journey from idea to realisation has been very much student-led for the new East playground. Over several years, the Primary School Student Council championed playground improvements, involving students in every stage, and backed by strong research into best practices by our Facilities team and Primary and Middle School leadership. The result is a dynamic playground with diverse areas offering opportunities for imaginative and challenging play.

“In the middle of the playground, there’s something called the Friendship Bench, which me and my classmates last year got the idea to put in, and we made a friendship sign that every class got to help paint.” Beyond physical structures, the playground’s true essence reveals itself in students’ daily interactions. A variety of dynamic play zones, such as ‘Gardens by the Beanbags’ and ‘Changi Airport – get ready to fly,’ embody the diverse and magical experience the play and learning space offers. The playground stands as a testament to the power of play, fostering creativity, challenge, and imagination in the students’ daily lives.

“My favourite part is the rope swing because instead of making a swing for only one person, loads of people can come on and have fun together.” OUR PROGRAMMES | 30

OUR COMMUNITY

An ongoing commitment to our Mission Community is at the heart of everything that we do. The unwavering generosity of our community weaves itself through our collective past, present, and futures, and helps us continue to support and advance key mission-aligned priorities at the College.

OUR COMMUNITY | 32

Why we give Our alumni are not only vital to our past and our present, but they are key to shaping the future of UWCSEA and the students who will join us for generations to come. We want to share the stories of three incredible alumni who have been instrumental in creating endowment programmes at the College that support scholarships for young people of great promise and potential who otherwise would not have access to a UWC education. By sharing their own giving stories, Robert and Lizanne Milton (’78 and ’83) and Fredrik Fosse ’03, respectively, hope to inspire future giving and ongoing connection by their fellow alumni who may be looking to contribute in a way that makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Lizanne and Robert A. Milton Scholarship Endowment Fund Robert ’78 and Lizanne ’83 are UWCSEA alumni who set up the very first scholarship endowment at the College with the goal to inspire other alumni to give back to the College that was so transformational to their own lives. Throughout the years, their endowment has supported numerous scholarship students who have benefited tremendously from the opportunity to access a UWC education. Robert and Lizanne are true champions of the UWC Mission, both through their donations and connection to the scholars they support, as well as through their engagement in numerous reunions, events and activities that strengthen the power of our alumni network in action. Through their giving, and through the lives of the many scholars they have touched, Robert and Lizanne inspire all of us all to live with intention and purpose.

“The education, experiences and friendships we both had and made at UWCSEA changed the way we view and interact with the world, and have stayed with us our entire lives. The opportunity to provide a similar experience to young students who can benefit deeply from a UWC education is important to us. If our story can inspire other alumni to also give, we are grateful.” Robert ’78 and Lizanne ’83 Milton

Fredrik Fosse ’03 Endowment Fund UWCSEA SCHOLAR ALUMNUS FROM NORWAY Fredrik Fosse’s commitment to the College and the wider UWC Movement stems from his desire to extend the UWC Mission and values by creating access to a UWC education for young people who are poised to make a difference in their communities and the wider world. As a scholar alumnus himself, Fredrik is keenly aware of the opportunities and connections that a UWC education can provide to deserving students, and the futures of possibility this access can hold for them. In addition to continuing to invest in and build his endowment fund over time, which will support annual scholarships for decades to come, in 2022/2023, Fredrik committed to a full UWCSEA scholarship which has been awarded to an East Campus Scholar from Zambia, who is already making the most of his UWC experience. Fredrik’s latest commitment helped to unlock matched funding from the UWC International Office’s Dare to Dream Programme, which allowed another deserving young scholar to attend UWC Thailand. In addition to his financial contributions, Fredrick has generously given his time, meeting with students when he visits campus, actively participating in and hosting UWCSEA alumni events, and engaging in strategic conversations at the UWC Movement level about how to increase our collective commitment to scholarships across all 18 UWC schools and colleges.

OUR COMMUNITY | 35

“As a scholar myself 20 years ago, I’ll be forever grateful for the UWC experience. I did not just receive a first-class education, but also learnt how to meaningfully connect with people from all over the world and gained the confidence to share and grow my own story and contributions along the way. These skills and qualities remain critical to my success today, and I feel passionately that others should have access to the same opportunity for transformative education—hence I am proud to give back to the Scholarship Programme.”

Meet Erynn Lau ’21 YOUNG ALUMNA WHO IS CURRENTLY STUDYING AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE This past year saw an incredible 32% increase in alumni giving from the previous year. Erynn Lau ’21, is among our generous alumni donors, embodying an ongoing spirit of connecting with impact. As a young alumna, she has given philanthropically to the Foundation’s Annual Fund, Giving Day, and Fund-a-Flight campaigns. Her philanthropic contributions inspire and encourage others to continue to give to the community and mission that unites us in purpose.

“When I received alumni communications for Giving Day, it brought back not-too-distant memories of being involved as a Global Concerns student. The Global Concerns programme provided an early opportunity for me to engage inquisitively and proactively with grassroots organisations implementing positive human rights services. These experiences are instrumental to who I am today, and I know I can act on my privileges coming out of UWC by continuing to support philanthropy as an alumna.” OUR COMMUNITY | 38

Community fundraising initiatives The UWCSEA Foundation runs multiple community appeals throughout the year to raise support for the College’s philanthropic priorities. Our generous community responds in kind and humbling ways, and we are deeply grateful for the trust you place in our staff and leadership to apply your donations with impact. Without question, we could not go above and beyond in the ways that we do for our students and our Mission without the generosity of our community behind the work that we do.

Giving Day Giving Day is a prime example of community giving and impact at its finest. On December 13–14, 2022, we held our second annual Giving Day to rally our community to unite for scholarships. Over 560 generous donors helped us to achieve our goal to raise enough funding to support three new scholars to join UWCSEA from August 2023. Giving Day is a testament to the collaborative spirit and sense of community that is evident across our campuses. Students dressed in campus colours to raise awareness about the Scholarship Programme, and staff united in teams to express their support. Nick Alchin, Head of College, scaled the wall of our East Campus High Ropes course to amplify the message that achieving our Mission comes down to each one of us. We are excited to continue to build our community’s momentum and channel our collective energy in support of the UWCSEA Scholarship Programme. Initiatives such as Giving Day are a testament to how our philanthropic actions as a community help to “provide exceptional educational experiences for students … that will contribute to a peaceful and sustainable future.” (UWCSEA Strategy 2023–2030 Shaping the Future.)

Fund-a-Flight Trần Thị Lan, mother of Thao Nguyen ’23, Scholar from Vietnam

“Seeing the sights and the life she has [in Singapore], it’s amazing. I’m proud to witness her growing into a wonderful young woman in a supportive and happy community. Thank you for your great support! I am so glad to be here with Thao during this important milestone.” Fund-a-Flight is an annual community appeal that invites donors to help bring scholar families together for graduation. Graduation is an emotional and joyous celebration of the achievements and journeys of all our UWCSEA graduates. For our graduating scholars and the families around the world who support them, the opportunity to be together in Singapore at this incredible moment in their lives is truly special. Fund-a-Flight provides support for flights, accommodation and other travel expenses for the families of graduating scholars to attend graduation. In 2023 we were able to bring 41 scholar families together in celebration of this incredible milestone. Supporting Fund-a-Flight means creating the opportunity for every UWCSEA scholar graduate to have a family member by their side as they celebrate the achievements of their UWC education and set their sights on bright and successful futures ahead.
