RACE4GOOD: Race 1

RACE4GOOD: RACE 1 2022

In Term 2 this year, FOBISIA’s senior Race4Good competition took place, with five schools participating: Discovery Bay International School, Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar, The Regents International School, Bangkok, The British School New Delhi and Swans International School in Spain. Students were tasked with uplifting a small community in Haiti, a country plagued with natural disasters, historical deforestation, poverty and political unrest. Congratulations to The British School New Delhi for winning the race! Find out a little about their race experience below and watch the video of their winning solution being implemented here

The Race4Good Leadership Programme is a noble programme that helps uplift less fortunate communities and areas around the world. The students representing the British School New Delhi were delighted at the opportunity given to them. They learnt something special. What we may consider basic, may be a luxury for other people. The students learnt the importance of research, planning, innovation and meeting deadlines. Through the course of the challenges, the students became more empathetic towards the people of Labate Village, Haiti.

Our experience online was really enriching. We collaborated across grades and dealt with the hybrid learning environment. Both stressful and fun, the experience allowed us to enhance our leadership skills as we dealt with challenges in short time periods. Hurdles such as exams also hindered our progress, however, we came from being in the bottom two in the first challenge to being 1st in the finale. Overall, this was a great learning and bonding experience for us all and we really enjoyed the process. The mid -race challenges also made us think critically and empathise deeply with the community. To conclude, we’re all grateful that the school gave us this opportunity. “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
