Maya Rao West's Fundraiser to Spread Hope and Unity

Hi!!! I’m Maya! I’m in 5th Grade. For this AMAZING cause I have chosen an AMAZING  song; Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi! It’s a song about a broken heart and loneliness.  I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful fundraiser, supporting the underprivileged children who would do anything to get the education that we had. This initiative will be changing many lives!

In our principal, Dr. Vakil's words: "The inclusion fund of BIS is a fund endorsed by the parent body at large, to enhance socio-economic diversity at BIS. This allows for the selection of parents who share the BIS philosophy but lack the means to afford it.” 

We want to help build this fund, and hence found this talent show an apt opportunity to do so. 

Although we are all physically restricted in our homes, that has rarely ever confined BIS's boundless enthusiasm. Therefore, we would like to introduce ‘EVOLVE 2020’, our take on the conventional talent show, by connecting it to a cause close to all our hearts, inclusion. This year, we will be using the talent show to collect money for BIS’s own inclusion fund.

One of the most wonderful aspects of BIS is how it makes all of us feel so special and ready to try new things at each assembly, elocution and debate. Whether we are budding bakers or dancers, singers or Rubik's Cube champions, here, at 'EVOLVE 2020', we want to both celebrate each of our unique talents and give other children a chance to become a part of the big, warm and accepting family called BIS. 

Thus, the students of the Bombay International School will be coming together in pursuit of a better future for our school, and to do our bit to bridge the disparities that exist around us, while doing what we love to do. 

We hope our performances and our cause will make you smile, and that you will help us help other children who deserve the sunshine and happiness of BIS.
