Be a Hummingbird

The mission statement of our school is to create students
who are prepared to “do their part”. In the words of the
Nobel prize winner, Wangari Maathai:
"I may feel insignificant, but I certainly don't
want to be like the animals watching as the
planet goes down the drain. I will be a
hummingbird. I will do the best I can." —
Wangari Maathai
By the end of January, nearly 50 MYP students had
signed up to help with the international Global Social
Leaders Competition where they had to design a project to
address one of the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals.
One of the projects is our school garden which the
students have named “The Hummingbird Haven” and I will
let Sonam explain why:
We started the year as the smallest bees in the hive but just
because we were the smallest bees from the hive didn't mean
we had small ideas
In this edition, we hope that you enjoy reading
about how our smallest members of MYP are “doing
our part” and making sustainable changes in Qatar.If
