Help children from three schools participate in STEM fairs Fund
Подкрепи ученици от три училища да развият свои STEM проекти и да участват на научен фестивал през учебната 2023-2024 година! За провеждането на Sci-High клуб и фестивал в едно училище през учебната 2023-2024 година е необходима сумата от 7000 евро. Общият бюджет за три училища е 21 000 евро. Твоята подкрепа може да го осигури. За осъществяване на клуб Sci-High в едно училище оргазаницията: - обучава 4-ма учители за модератори на клуб Sci-High (обучението има за цел да ги запознае с иновативната методология, която използваме в Sci-High и която могат да използват като допълнителен инструмент в преподаването си) - предоставя готови разработени уроци за провеждане на клуба през учебната година - осигурява допълнително заплащане на 2-ма учители за провеждане на седмични сесии на клуба в училището и организация на училищен фестивал в края на учебната година - осигурява материали на учениците в клуба, за да построят своите прототипи, кампании, симулации - на всеки ученически отбор осигурява подходящ ментор от съответната научна област - подкрепя практическата насоченост на решенията като координира с училищния директор, институции и организации различни инициативи и дискусии - организира и заплаща транспорта на отборите до националния фестивал Sci-High в София, където на края на учебната година се състезават всички отбори, завършили успешно проектите си - подкрепя участия на отборите с техните Sci-High проекти в други състезания и олимпиади. (Две години подред ученически проекти от Sci-High клубовете вземат награди от състезанието SuperSTEM. През последната учебна година 2022/23 един от отборите взе награда от фестивала Fission на Американски колеж, а техен участник спечели Златен медал в предварителния кръг на международната СТЕМ олимпиада). Много от иновативните образователни проекти и инициативи са концентрирани в София и в частни школи. Ние вярваме, че децата в цялата страна имат потенциал, затова нашата цел е да имаме присъствие на място в училище и да покриваме повече области и конкретно такива, които имат по-голяма нужда от това. Тази учебна година фокусът ни е област Хасково. През 2023 година резултатът на Хасково на националното външно оценяване (НВО) в 7ми клас е 48 точки при среден за страната - 55 точки. Областта се намира на 18то място в страната по общ резултат от изпитите по БЕЛ и математика.

Let’s support the education of the young and talented cellist Filip (14 years old) at the Purcell School (London) Fund
Filip Daniel Tsochev, who is 14 years old, has successfully auditioned to one of the oldest music schools in the UK - The Purcell School in London. After his successful audition - which earned him an unconditional offer less than 24 hours later - he is set to join a cohort of young and talented students from 23 different nationalities from September 1, 2023. Filip’s enrollment as a Bulgarian student would make the nationalities 24. With this wonderful achievement, also comes a difficult task. Unfortunately, following Brexit, Filip is unable to take advantage of the UK’s scholarship support for young musicians. Despite that, The Purcell School were kind enough to extend financial support from their private fund, offering to cover 35% of the annual tuition fee. Which leaves his family with the remaining 65%, equivalent to roughly £25,810 (or BGN: 60,000). This huge sum is not something the family is able to afford, which is why I am opening up this campaign, with a very heartfelt request for support. Filip is an extremely bright, talented and ambitious young man (you can read a little bit about his musical achievements down below), and we so deeply want to give him the opportunity to continue his studies in a musically and academically competitive environment, which can open his door to any stage, a wonderful cohort of teachers and academic advisors, and to take a huge leap when it comes to music composition and advancing his technical skills. With joy and hardship, also comes hope. And we’re extending a hopeful hand to anyone who may be able to support Filip’s academic journey, in any way, shape or form- big or small. Any support is immensely appreciated. Here are some of Filip’s musical accomplishments to date: Filip was born on 8th November 2008 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He first began playing the cello at only 7 years old, after being accepted to study at the National Musical School “Lubomir Pipkov”. Over his musical career, he has studied under the master classes of world-renowned cello professors, including: Stefan Popov (United Kingdom & Bulgaria), Denis Severin (Switzerland), Anatoliy Krastev (Bulgaria), Michel Strauss (France). He’s a laureate of many national and international competitions. Filip was only 10 years old when he made his debut as a solo cellist with the Sofia Symphony Orchestra. He has many Orchestra performances under his belt now, at only 14 years old. Despite not currently having his own instrument (we have been kindly lent a cello, due to the high cost of the instrument), he donated his very first cello (size ½) to the “Music Over Street” foundation in Sliven.

This Scholarship was endorsed by the NAET to assist Big Brothers Big Sisters of NYC ("BBBSNYC") students with essential non-tuition related expenses. Since 2018, the New York Markets team introduced a mentorship program with BBBSNYC, the nation's first and the city's largest youth mentoring organization. Rabobank staff (Wholesale, particularly with Markets) have been serving as mentors (Bigs) to the high school students (Littles) through the BBBSNYC Workplace Mentoring Program. In 2021, Rabobank expanded its relationship with BBBSNYC by establishing the Rabobank Scholarship. During the first year of offering the Rabobank Scholarship, we raised over $17,000 for ten Littles! We hope with your help, we can re-create a positive impact for the nine senior students graduating this year — all of whom we have mentored since Sophomore year. You are eligible to receive matching funds for your donation, up to $ 500.00! The Rabobank Scholarship Fund campaign is open and live now until August 1, 2023.
