Once in a while an opportunity presents itself in our circle of influence where we can do our bit towards the environment and participate in establishing a green initiative.
A students action group “The Green Team” at International School of Tianjin (IST) have initiated a solar panel project for the school which is now supported by the school’s administration, Board of Governors (comprised of parent representatives) and the school’s Advancement office. The project’s location is at their “home” IST, but it will contribute positively to the environment of our host city of Tianjin.
The plan is to put 380 panels on the roof of an IST school building and generate enough power to run the lighting of that building using clean renewable energy. The students are raising funds for 380 panels; each panel costs RMB 2000, therefore an amount of RMB 760,000 needs to be raised. A sponsorship recognition protocol has been formulated that places donors in various levels (depending on the amount of their donation) with varying benefits connected to each level. On behalf of the Green Team students, I am appealing to you to donate generously to this cause. You can donate as many panels as you like or as little as RMB 50. The donation form and the donation level descriptions are attached. Donation forms are also available here
Please fill in the form and bring/send them with your cash donations to the school’s Finance office. Alternatively, please email

for bank information in case you would prefer to make a bank transfer.
Note: Please note that the school can only issue receipts for tuition, and therefore donations must be given in the understanding that the School’s Finance Office is unable to issue official tax receipts (fapiaos).
