One of the problems I would like to solve is helping people the poor health that don't have enough money to get the right treatments. A lot of places have these but I want to spread awareness on what they have to do because of it and how it affects them and the people around them. This relates to SDG 3, Good health and SDG 1, No poverty.

A problem I would like to solve is overfishing. I want to spread awareness about this issue through posters and infographics and how as a student you can help. Overfishing is an issue as it leads to an imbalance in the ocean. It would relate to SDG 14, life below water.

# data[].attributes.headline
A problem I would like to solve would be related to life below water since there are people who throw trash besides the beach or they throw stuff in the ocean that can cause the marine life to have poor health and because of that they might die. i would spread awareness by putting posters or even upload a statement about it on social media.

Deforestation. This is an issue involving goal number 15, Life on Land, goal number 13: Climate action, and goal number 17: partnership. The service group would, theoretically, got o areas in the north of Thailand where there are trees and mountains, and replant the habitats that were lost. We would also go annually or twice a year to check on the growth and the impact that we are making.

masks in the ocean. this problem has become very large because of covid and its been hurting wild life in the ocean. this relates to
SDGs number 14 life below water and number 12 responsible production and consumption.

Ocean plastic on the beaches of Thailand, not only a safety hazard but destroys the marine habitat. This relates to STG number 14. Maybe We can melt the plastic down and some how make it in to art work that is worth something. Therefore the plastic thrown in the ocean will have value to people again.

I was in a service group at my old school but I don't have much experience in Service at NIST. I would like to learn more about what it means to be in a NIST service group.

I would love to learn more about the different service groups and Nist and what they aim to achieve. This will further help me decide what service group i want to be in, as I am not in one currently.

I want to learn more about service in NIST as I do not know much. I also want to understand the SDGs and Service Groups as I will then be able to decide on one that I actively contribute to. I have been a part of the service group SOAP for the past semester.

WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL SERVICE IDEAS BULLETIN!

"In my last school, I saw...." (suggest ideas inspired by other schools)

"I want to see..." (suggest an idea for someone to pick up on)
"I want to start..." (initiate ideas and lead it)
and/or ask a question to the Service Core Team

Example:
I want to see the community's used eyeglasses finding a new home.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to work with a group like WOOF that helps out stray dogs or dogs in shelters that need to be adopted! I love to see dogs at shelters since I can't have one of my own :) I am also interested in joining a more established service group like DWBI or Free to Be that I can potentially help carry along in the future

# data[].attributes.body
Kind of silly, and maybe not too much fo a "service" thing, but I think it would be cool if we had a small group of people who just did random acts of kindness for random students and teachers - kind of like a NIST Community Happiness group?

# data[].attributes.body
I used to be a part of a service group that was made up of a lot of thai/english students, together we hosted lessons for thai staff and taught them english, the service group was split into two groups, one was made up of students who would plan the lessons (indirect- plan what we would teach the staff) and the others would be the teacher, with on main teacher at the head of the class and support teachers around the room to clarify anything to the thai staff. We also raised money to supply the thai staff with notebooks and pens or pencils.

# data[].attributes.body
We are both interested in both the humane side as well as environmental/sustainability. So we are involved in Plastic Free Nist, FemiNist, DWBI and Farmer Market. When it comes to the human side, we would like to focus more on eliminating stigma in the community and when it comes to the environment we'd like to be more direct with our effects.

# data[].attributes.body
get the farmers market gr

# data[].attributes.body
I’d like to join a service group that advocates for civil rights in places that are currently lacking them. Like sharing petitions and creating things to sell so that the profits can be dontated to other established organizations to help people ensure their rights.

# data[].attributes.body
In a big school such as NIST, there tends to be a lot of food waste that is produced. I want to find a way to recycle that food waste. As an example, we could use organic matter such as orange peels or egg shells to make compost.

Human meat-free human food waste can also be treated and used as pig feed.

Another possible path for me is to join the Chadam tea service group. I like the idea of selling fair trade tea.

# data[].attributes.body
I also used to help coach swimming to kids at my old school and motivate them at swim meets to put in the work to see results. A swimming oriented service group could be a good fit for NIST.

# data[].attributes.body
A service group that works directly with wild life and animal conservation in Thailand. Protecting elephants from tourism for example

I am interested in joining art relief crew or operation smile in addition to being in rescue glass. I would also possibly like to pursue starting a service group that integrates the growing rugby community and some of the thai schools in bangkok, by hosting tournaments, donating old equipment such as the tackling pads and having sessions that teach the core values of the sports in a sense of morality. I have had a couple conversations with coach El regarding this topic and it's something i am interested in starting up and facilitating.

# data[].attributes.body
We're part of ARC, and this year we hope to be creating more products that are able to sell and advocate for our partner as well as directly interacting with Steps with Theera by teaching art classes which we didn't get the opportunity to do last year.

# data[].attributes.body
Ava: branch out the business and have more outside vendors (possibly work with farmers market) as we are the only ones who sell our product (chadam tea).

NY: other than being involved in service initiated in NIST (farmers market and DWBI), outside experience with service would be teaching kids the basics of swimming in underprivileged communities outside of Bangkok who may not have the opportunity to learn this skill. i hope to continue with the service I have been doing so far.

# data[].attributes.body
We are part of Fair NIST, and we learned how sustainable coffee production works and how it supports the farmers. We are hoping to help move forward and expand the community in other international schools in Bangkok to share each other's ideas

# data[].attributes.body
I'd be interested in something on the research. front as that is the foundation of a lot of things that people do such as in Ocean Marine Guardians how to more effectively grow coral. As well as this if people know the reason as to why they are doing something then they are more likely to engage into it. It would also be interesting to look into doing something with the old school supplies, textbooks and library books that can help other students and potentially schools in other regions of Thailand that aren't as fortunate. `

we need more people in operation smile!! most of our group is seniors who will be gone next year!! please email 22audreyy@nist.ac.th or 22marlab@nist.ac.th if you want to join OR just tell us in person
thank you!

I am part of Slam Dunk, but I've notice that there isn't a lot being done for sustainable energy practices, or at least there are no prevalent service groups committed to it

Pass It On (Empower): We would like to gain understanding on each social issues by researching about it to an extent that we are able to view different perspectives on the issue. After, we understand that knowledge we would like to utilize the use of multimedia such as a documentary or workshops in advocating that certain issue.

# data[].attributes.body
We noticed that there were no service groups touching on the SDG clean water and sanitation and so therefore we are interested in starting a project around that idea

# data[].attributes.body
We are part of the NIST Kids Catering group but due to the pandemic it will not be as much activity going on. Thereby, we are interested in joining service groups like 'Çhadam tea', 'Rescued Glass' or 'Second chance'.

# data[].attributes.body
Aim to eliminate all the problems that are affecting our society such as hunger, poverty, education fee, and health price. Though many of the problems are supposed to be taken care by the government, but we can't just totally depend upon the government. The public has to step up and start serving the humanity. I notice that slam dunk, priceless, fair nist, yellow aims to solve many of the problems.

i'm the leader of operation smile at nist but I noticed there aren't any service groups supporting SDG #7 sustainable energy for all

Arav, I want to make meaningful contributions to the main service groups I am interested in (FairNist, pRICEless, and Operation Smile). I also want to start a service group centered around recycling and up-cycling paper, unlike other groups, I would collect used paper and make it "unused" and make notebooks out of it. The proceeds from selling notebooks would go to a cause I care about, education, human rights etc (fun activity + good cause). I also want to start a club centered around either history or philosophy as these are two subjects I care a lot about. Philosophy can lead to a lot of things in my opinion and I would most likely use my book and other interesting philosophical notions and metaphysical questions to guide mentally stimulating discussions to improve mental health, and cultivate positive mindsets/ attitudes.

I want to restart the diving group that enabled NIST students to get their divers certification. This can be teamed up the OMG group and the Year 12 Koh Tao trip with the Divecenter - New Heaven. There is also a dive center in Bangkok that works with school and teaches students in different ages not only the importance of Oceans but also Marine Biology for The MYP and the DP years. I think this would be a great idea to get NIST more connected with the ocean since Thailand is surrounded by it.

We are currently in NIST Kids Catering, DWBI, and Second Chance. We would be interested in creating/joining a service group related to medicine (e.g. providing healthcare opportunities, more opportunities for those with mental/terminal disorders)

I want to continue being involved in the two service groups that I am a part of (Second Chance, Children of the Forrest) as well as create a new service group helping the Mercy Center and supporting good education.

I participated in fund raisers and campaigns to help clean the beaches of the Netherlands. In year 9/grade 8 of my old school a friend and I made a Videogame in which you cleaned up a beach and would occasionally be presented with statistics and facts about pollution and something called plastic soup. In year 10/grade9 a small group of friends of mine and me started a fund raiser to finance a beach clean up and donation to the plastic soup foundation.

I would really like to continue supporting communities in Thailand and do either direct or indirect service to fulfill my part.

I want to join or if possible establish my own service group revolving around the idea of helping, and providing support for people who are in need. I have had a lot of service experience at my old school such as Operation Smile.

I would like to create a direct service group known as "Music Relief", this would be a direct service movement which would create events similar to mixed up where individuals are able to showcase talent through both individual and solo performances and have a "Battle of the bands" type scenario to win some sort of prize this could ranges from a simple Starbucks card to bigger things such as having recognition from agencies in Bangkok.

Then with the entry fee money at the end of the academic year around April or May time, we would split the raised money collected over the course of the years between a few less academically enhanced Thai schools to help them buy musical equipment as well as host student led workshops to teach them how to play the basics there given/chosen instrument.

This would be a non-profit NGO which aims to provide students who are less fortunate with the experience of playing a musical instrument as well as the experiences of organizing and leading events.

More info Contact: 22CobenS@nist.ac.th

As for my own experiences:
- I'm a part of operation smile at NIST
- I want to take part in this years mixed up, as I feel like it would allow me to increase my following on social media and possibly me grow my name into the desired music industry
- In the past I have had a past with direct service as when I was younger I went with my old to school to Nepal to help them re-build they school and give them equipment

# data[].attributes.body
I have had many experiences in terms of service as I am in 3 different service groups all doing indirect service. GINAsia (was postponed but that is fine), NDB (which is slowly merging into ServiceCO) and Rescued glass, which creates glass products to promote responsible consumption.
