WELCOME
Hello, my name is Hayden Hipkiss and I am a senior at Arrowhead High School. At Arrowhead, I am one of just a few students who took the two year pathway to become globally-minded and involved in something bigger than ourselves. We are the Class of 2024 in the Global Scholars Program.
The Global Experience Program
As a student in Wisconsin's Global Scholars Program, I am working to receive the The Wisconsin Global Education Achievement Certificate. To achieve this goal, I need to be follow the classes curriculum, volunteer 20+ hours, and prove that I am globally minded and passionate. Also, to earn the certificate, I must focus on 1 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals created by the United Nations. I choose to focus on SDG #4: Quality Education.
The Gift of Education
My project, Spread the Gift of Education, is a student-led global experience project. I have brainstormed, initiated, and planned for the project up to this point. I continue to take on all tasks involving the project such as spreading awareness and advocating for donations. I am working with Dr. Fletcher Padoko, the Executive Director for Kasupe Ministries Malawi, to achieve Quality Education in their community. Our focus is to build two classrooms because currently there are 317 students at Kasupe Ministries with only 4 classrooms. As a result, there are about 80 students confined in to each one of the small, compressed classrooms. I believe every student deserves a healthy learning environment that will enhance their ability to learn. Furthermore, it will create opportunities for growth and success at Kasupe Ministries. Students will then have the resources to make a positive impact on our world, just like I am now! If you are interested and looking for more information, please visit the project information's tab and the donations tab! Thank you in advance and let's make this project a success together!
