Empowering Dreams – ISKL’s 2023 Giving Tuesday Campaign

Giving Tuesday Blog Thumb

ISKL is a school where care, compassion, and global citizenship are nurtured at every level. We take great pride in our unique spirit that drives us towards excellence, aiming to make a positive difference in the world. Our school is not just a non-profit organization; it is parent-owned, meaning our students are its only shareholders. This distinctive bond has always inspired our commitment to excellence and dedication toward making a meaningful impact in the world.

On November 28, 2023, ISKL joined the worldwide celebration of #GivingTuesday for the second time. Our participation in this initiative aligns with our vision of caring for others and creating a better world. Throughout the month of November, we showcased the different ways altruism and philanthropy can manifest, creating a ripple effect of kindness that extends beyond our school. This effort has inspired others to join us in making a positive difference.

Last year, we raised an incredible amount of RM 14,950, where 50% of the funds raised were donated to the ISKL Inspire Campaign (formerly the Inspiration Fund), which is dedicated to People, Places, and Programs. Thanks to the donations fueled by our wonderful PTA and Alumni donors, we have been able to purchase equipment such as a Mass Run Timing System and a Sports Video Analysis System, as well as fund the beautification of the High School (HS) Garden and Mural, the HS Theatre Commons and run workshops by USA Guest Conductor Frank Troyka and Australian Artist-in-Residence, Mark Hill for the Middle School (MS) and HS Theatre students.

They were the Circle of Alliance for Refugee Empowerment (CARE) Club, the Children's Future Education Centre (CFEC) Club, and the ISKL Medics Club.

This year, we aim to raise a total of RM20,000 (approx. USD 4,500) by the end of the year on December 31, 2023, which will allow us to give RM10,000 to student-led and chosen charitable causes and RM10,000 to the Inspire Campaign. Any amount donated will play a big part in enabling us to meet our goal: even a donation of RM 50, or USD 10, will play a significant role. Will you help us reach our goal?
