Sonam Kapoor who studied in UWC South East Asia (UWCSEA) in Singapore travelled there this weekend as part of their Impact of Giving Gala. Sonam, Class of 2003 student, will speak at the exclusive Marina Bay Sands event. Organised by parents from the College, the Impact of Giving Gala will bring changemakers together to raise money in support of the unique UWCSEA educational programme.

Chris Edwards, Head of UWCSEA, said "The gala will be a glamorous and fun evening, but most importantly it will be an evening with purpose. The room will be full of changemakers who are joining a global drive towards a more peaceful and sustainable future. Our mission is focused on the impact our education can have on the world. We are proud that our alumna Sonam Kapoor will join us in broadening that impact." 

She will be making a guest appearance alongside fellow students for what will be a glamorous and exciting gala, and their personal stories of learning at the college will remind all guests that a UWC education is a truly remarkable one. 

The gala will raise money for UWCSEA's Scholarship Programme, a transformational initiative that supports students from varying socio-economic backgrounds across the globe in accessing a world-class education at UWCSEA. Linked directly with the mission of the College, to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future, there are currently 102 scholars from 57 different countries studying at UWCSEA. Support from the College community has enabled a further eight scholarship students to study at one of the other 16 UWC Colleges around the world, including two students who have come from refugee backgrounds. The gala aims to raise money to support much more students of promise and potential in realising their dream of an international education so that they can have a positive impact on the world.
