Giving Back

Whether it’s by collecting trash, planting trees, organizing food drives, or joining the global dance for kindness, QSI schools find a way to give back to their communities and spread love.

The TIS community came together to run a sponsored group marathon, attempting to cover the 1,044 miles from Tirana to Kyiv and raise money to support the Ukrainians as well. Together they ran nearly to Belarus (past Kyiv!)! and raised $18,600 USD that was donated to the Ukrainian Red Cross! 

The generous giving from QSI Skopje families PACKED an entire vehicle with warm clothing and games for the Afghan Refugees in North Macedonia! #ConcernForOthers

Following the Tropical Cyclone Seroja, which triggered devastating flash floods and landslides across Timor-Leste over Easter weekend, QSI Dili staff steps in to help! Outside of their heavy teaching load and classroom responsibilities, QSI staff, during recess, lunch, and on weekends make food to distribute to those in need. Concern for Others has caught on as we try to do whatever we can for the community. Very proud of QSI Dili staff for their compassion and dedication.

To add to the momentum in aid, the global QSI community quickly banded together and raised over $11,000 to further sustain the efforts in Timor Leste and the QSI Dili community.  Thank you for being a big part in the rebuild process of this very special country.

Dog _shelter donations

As part of the ten-year-old's responsibility for the daily monthly announcements in February the students in QSI Sarajevo decided to use the chance to promote some Kindness and Concern for Others by holding a Share the Love Drive to support a local migrant shelter and dog shelter.  The students collected laundry soaps and hygienic supplies for the migrant shelter and dog treats and food for the dog shelter.  The students were inspired to have the chance to give back and to help promote a little love to the community for the month of February.
