01 - Copenhagen International School

Again this year DP students
joined tens of thousands Danish
high school students in collecting
funds for youth projects in developing
countries. This year Operation
Dagsværk is supporting a
Zimbabwean non-governmental
organisation dedicated to giving
schooling options to the many
disenfranchised youth suffering
in the aftermath of political violence
(see link in next mail). Operation
Dagsværk expects to raise
6,300,000 DKK which will go a
long way towards changing the
lives of many young people in
Zimbabwe.
CIS students did a myriad of jobs
in homes, such as raking leaves
and cleaning attics, and at
parents’ companies. A large
group worked at school doing
odd jobs in the office or outside.
The administrative coordinators
and janitors really put them to
work.
Another large group chose to
work for DSB and CIS students
were so expert at cleaning at Nørreport
station that they were
“promoted” to work at Copenhagen
Central. You can see from the
photos that they seemed to enjoy
it. DSB let them keep the high
fashion hats and jackets.
