Reboot2Kids STUDENT AMBASSADORS

ALEXANDRA EATON

Hi, I’m Alexandra Eaton. I’m currently a student at the International School of Geneva, Campus de Nations. I played football for 9 years and I use the skills I’ve learned through playing on a daily basis. Football teaches us teamwork, perseverance and the value of hard work; all essential skills at any stage in life. At the same time, children really need to have access to safe drinking water in order to be healthy enough to take advantage of things like football and access to modern technology. Let's help create better futures for not only these kids, but also for all of us. 

ZOE Dell'OSSO

I'm Zoe, a fellow student and environmentalist. I am the founder of GreenUp, a sustainability social media app for young people. Clean water, health and education are all such important components of sustainability. I look forward to contributing to the mission of Reboot2Kids. 

VANYA SAKSENA

Hi, I’m Vanya, a year 12 student at the International School of Geneva, passionate about football and supporting girls in STEM. I believe that all children should have equal access and opportunities in areas such as science and sport, and that a healthy learning environment is the first step to achieving this. I can’t wait to contribute my skills and effort to this initiative, and hope that we can bring long term impactful solutions to these communities.

 

BEATRICE WALKER

Hi I’m Beatrice. I’m a year 12 student at the Institut International de Lancy and I play football both with my school team and at FC Champel. We are lucky in Switzerland to have an abundance of clean water.  I really want to help less fortunate children be able to have access to football, digital literacy and clean water. I am looking forward to contributing to this great initiative and working to benefit the children.

My name is Martine Coppens. I am the Founding President of Education For All in Sierra Leone and also a former teacher and coordinator at the International School of Geneva. I lived and worked in DRC, Chad, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, Liberia, Ivory Coast, New York and Geneva.

The NGO “Education for All in Sierra Leone” was founded after the Civil War in 2004 to enable the children of rural villages in Masantigie to have access to Primary Education. The school has currently 450 Primary School students and 8 teachers who have been trained by our NGO.  We also have a scholarship program for Secondary School Students and organise activities for the women of the villages. 

I am thrilled  that we will be able to give access to technology to the children of this remote area.  It is absolutely essential that in the 2020s, these children can connect and benefit from digital literacy and ICT programs. We need to give them this opportunity to face the future.
