Learning to see the needs of others and trying to give cheerfully builds great character.
Rimbrook provides many opportunities for servant leadership. All volunteering activities can be counted towards the Duke of Edinburgh certificate

International Outreach

Rimbrook provides tertiary students and young professionals the opportunity to volunteer in overseas outreach projects.

In the past year, we spent two weeks in the Philippines helping at Cadulawan Integrated School in January. We witnessed the magnanimity amidst scarcity and the power of reciprocity from the Filipinos.

We also had the opportunity to spend time with various communities in Nuku’alofa, Tonga in November. We partnered with Ahopanilolo Technical Institute, Women and Children Crisis Centre and the Alonga Disability Centre.

Volunteering in settings strikingly different to our own opens up horizons, expands our worldview, teaches us about ourselves and the value of service.
