ORIGIN AND DESTINATIONS OF OUR STUDENTS
OTHER SOLIDARITY ACTIONS
In addition to collaborating with the Casvi Foundation in Piura, we collaborate throughout the academic year with other associations such as Cáritas or Banco de Alimentos. Thanks to these collaborations, we are able to teach our students important values such as solidarity.
Our own students also have the freedom to propose charitable or solidarity actions throughout the academic year, such as charity races to benefit foundations. We are proud that our students and their families take the initiative to participate in charitable campaigns such as La vuelta al cole (Back to School) by the Unoentrecienmil Foundation and the #PañueloChallenge of the Aladina Foundation.
SOCIAL WORK - CASVI FOUNDATION
At Casvi International American School, we are aware of the importance of social responsibility. As a private school in Tres Cantos, we have a duty to help society in some way and to be an example of solidarity for our students. Therefore, social commitment and values education must occupy a central place in our mission.
In Casvi, we have collaborated with different NGOs since the beginning, but it was in 2006 when the foundations were laid for the creation of the Casvi Foundation. The aim of the foundation is to involve our entire educational community in carrying out projects for the common good, aimed at helping the poorest sectors of society at the national and international level.
For its first project, the foundation traveled to Piura (Peru), to one of the city’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods, to construct a three-story building. Today, the building houses an Occupational Training Center offering courses in hospitality, painting, ceramics, dressmaking, hairdressing, embroidery, and computer science. It also has a dining room that feeds 140 people in need every day.
