  Eyes along the coast. The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is a voluntary organisation in the UK that provides a visual watch along the coast. Established in 1994, it is made up of unpaid volunteers who monitor the UK's coastline and report any suspicious activities or hazards to the relevant authorities. NCI is the only organisation in the UK that provides a dedicated visual watch along the coastline. The volunteers are trained to observe and report any suspicious activities or hazards, such as vessels in distress, pollution, and beachgoers in trouble. They use binoculars, telescopes, and other equipment to observe the coastline and report any incidents to the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the RNLI, and other relevant authorities. NCI also provides a number of other services, including providing educational talks, promoting coastal safety and awareness, and organising beach cleans and other conservation activities. NCI has over 50 stations located along the UK coastline, from the Isles of Scilly in the south to the Shetland Isles in the north. Each station is manned by volunteers who work in shifts to provide a 24/7 watch. NCI is funded by donations and grants, and is supported by a wide range of organisations including the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the RNLI, and the National Trust. Show less

  Foundation 21 is a Non-Profit Organization working towards improving menstrual hygiene management, fighting period poverty, raising awareness and breaking taboos. Foundation 21 was established in March 2018 by a group of friends from Scholastica Uttara, Bangladesh. From being a charity-based organisation, it has now aimed towards fighting period poverty, breaking taboos and improving menstrual hygiene standards in Bangladesh. We want to create a safe space to have discussions regarding menstruation, a society where menstruation is not a taboo. We want menstruators to participate in proper menstrual hygiene management and have access to basic menstrual sanitary products. Besides menstruation, we also focus on different unspoken topics through content creation, we have made informative posts regarding PayUp movement to a documentary on Rape Culture in Bangladesh.

  We intend to establish a community recycling centre, which will involve engaging area schools and organisations to get additional recyclables and raise awareness. A Precious Plastics workplace is an ideal recycling choice for a school or small community because it enables you to work toward closing the loop of plastics and educating the school community to perceive plastic as a valuable resource that can be repurposed. I teamed up with the Director of Atlantic Pacific to strengthen the Precious Plastic ethos on campus. Through Atlantic Pacific, I had the privilege of working with a secondary school and high school in Kamaishi, Japan, to devise innovative solutions to reduce the role of plastic in accelerating climate change and global warming.

Creature Feature

• United States

• Co-Founder

  • Feb 2021 - Present

  I have been working on a project that accomplishes precisely that! Combining creativity, enthusiasm, and ambition to improve the world, I present "Creature features." This unique, interesting, and enlightening effort aims to offer the world a deeper understanding of the lives of animals, their living conditions, and how our actions influence them - and subsequently affect us. Through this incredible project, we help the world become more environmentally conscious and conscientious. We give pathways for individuals to bring real change, and we open the awareness to see how they too may assist! I want to give a voice to those without one and experience their reality, which we are shaping with each action. We use animal gazing to depict an animal's everyday activities, showing the animal's living conditions, habitat, and the reason behind its behaviours. Through these videos, viewers will be able to focus their sight on the environment with a new lens. Understand and sympathise with the animal's by putting themselves in their circumstances, and use common sense to avoid unintentionally harming animals or the environment. Our video will be anywhere from one and five minutes long, so that even those who do not have the patience to watch documentaries will be interested in viewing it on social media. These clips will be shared on various social media platforms. In the future, we will partner with non-governmental organisations to generate funds and promote animal refuge, protection, veterinary care, and food. Eventually, we hope to create a virtual reality website where users can access all of our films and links to NGOs that support our cause. Creature Feature: a pathway to a better world. Show less

• 1st Class Sea Cadet

  • May 2017 - Present

  My old high school, Tile Cross Academy (TCA), participated in the Cadet Expansion Programme, therefore I joined the Sea Cadets in 2017. I have since graduated to the rank of Senior 1st Class Cadet. To become a Cadet 1st Class, you must first complete the necessary modules of the Cadet Training Programme, such as map reading, seamanship, drill, Royal Navy history, first aid, and camp craft. As a senior cadet, it was my responsibility to lead parades, assist younger cadets with their uniforms, and provide general assistance to the adult instructors. I was fortunate enough to spend a week in February 2020 at the HMS Raleigh training centre, where I received training in firefighting, sea survival, and disaster response. In addition, my family was also affiliated with the local Sea Cadet Unit, TS Stirling, so on Sundays I was able to continue to train on the water to further improve my skills. Thanks to this connection, I was able to advance to level Stage 3 in sailing and the level Stage 2 in kayaking and canoeing. I was bestowed with my RYA Youth aquatics Sailing Scheme Stage 1,2 and 3 certificate by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham. Show less

  • Jun 2022 - Dec 2022

  As conferences are central to the UWC Atlantic experience, students have the opportunity to submit proposals for topics to be covered, sourcing and booking the venue and speakers, developing workshops, producing marketing materials, inviting participants, and running the show from start to finish. This year, my team's proposal was selected after a competitive selection process. We proposed a conference that provides an in-depth examination of a topic we do not address enough: religion and faith. This provides a place for us, as a student body, to understand each other from a standpoint that is frequently overlooked, but is frequently the most effective means of unification to erase the fears and misguided definitions and cultural conflicts. As one of the principal organisers, I am responsible for the majority of the conference's logistics, such as communication, finance, education, and marketing. The conference will be held on the 18th and 19th of November, 2022 which will be delivered to approximately 500+ students and staff members. We spent four months planning this conference and are still working to make it the most successful conference UWC has ever held. The primary goals are to explore different religions and provide a space for faith at AC, to promote interfaith understanding and celebrate the bonds that faith offers to community, and to dispel the misconceptions about faith and conflicts regarding faith.
