CATHWEL OUTINGS

 Boys Chairpersons: Kate ‘23, Derrick ‘24 

(Hover!) Babies Chairpersons: Charlene ‘25, Jay Ann ‘23

Cathwel is a hands-on experience in which members take orphans ages 1~6 (babies) or 8~17 (boys) from the Cathwel Orphanage out for a day of fun in Taipei! Cathwel Boys have visited museums, amusement parks, and pools, while Cathwel babies have visited parks and played in the school playgrounds. This is a long term commitment in which members have the opportunity to build a relationship with a baby or boy they are paired with. Our committee’s goal is to allow these kids to enjoy a fun experience like other kids their age would, and to facilitate member-kid bonding so they feel valued and loved.

HUNGER DAY

Chairperson: Tia ‘24, Cedric ‘24, Ava ‘26

The Hunger Week committee is in charge of organizing a week of events twice per school year (fall and spring) to raise awareness about hunger and encourage people to not waste food. To do so, we set up a donation booth in front of the lobby for the school community to donate money that goes to Oxfam America, World Vision Taiwan, and the American Friends Service Committee. We also give Hunger Lessons to Lower School students to teach them about global hunger and food waste. Specific to the fall semester, we organize a Hunger Assembly where we invite a guest speaker to talk to Upper School students about the different aspects of hunger. Specific to the spring semester, we collaborate with the Art Department to sell bowls and mugs and to hold an art auction to raise money for a charity of their choice, most recently being Do You A Flavor (人生百味).

FUNDRAISING 

Chairperson: Kristine ‘23, Katherine ‘23, Summer ‘23

Formerly separate branches (Book Sale and Flea Market), fundraising aims to raise money by selling second hand donations to support other committees in the club. The money raised is used to fund outings, gifts for the needy, as well as donations to international charities.
