United World College - USA

Today the United World College hosted the first year vs second year soccer match. It was a nice day outside and spirits were high as students cheered for their respective teams on the football field. The  first years had the misfortune of losing the game to the second years who had an unfair advantage because of their vast experience, a consequence of their age, and the fact that they had spent more time in UWC than us, first years. Well, first years lost the game by a crushing 4-1 defeat. We respect you second years.

Friend Cursh Cafe

Friend Crush Cafe was organized by Timiebi Souza-Okpofabri ‘13, Trinidad And Tobago and Nicolas Montano ‘13, USA on Friday. It was designed for people to perform and show their love to their friends. It was also a great chance for people to get to know others. People can dedicate performances to the friends they love. Then their friends will sit on the sofa in the front. The atomsphere was full of love. <3 <3 <3

Next year, Friend Crush Cafe will be organized by Siraba A.Ndiaye ‘14, Senegal and Max Saylor ‘14, USA. We are looking forward to next year’s cafe!

HIV/AIDS Peer educators had a blast in Denver as they made presantations at various schools such as Eagle Rock School and at the National Youth Service Learning conference that was held in Denver. They also had the chance to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House. It was quite an inspiring experience as students got the chance to immerse themselves in community projects that have a wide impact.

Yesterday, UWC-USA students Reem Ladadwa, Palestine’14 and Aabhusan Khadka, Nepal’14 hosted an interesting talk about rape in the world and the rape cultures that have been developed by many societies in the world. It was a stand against rape such as is rarely seen as students of all genders stood up against rape and sexual abuse.
