problems??

12. Education
 For teachers(Talented & Poor University students):
- Allow them to continue their studies despite being
financially crippled.
- Would be provided with necessary vocational
courses such as English speaking
courses, IELTS, Driving, IT courses, leadership courses
etc.
- Opportunities(Loan/scholarship) to pursue higher
studies in the future.

13. - Equipped with academically necessary knowledge
of international standards for admission into
renowned universities in the future .
- Learn necessary skills and knowledge ranging from
agriculture to computer programming that are needed
in their daily life as well as help SDI Academy to
generate profit from their various commercial
activities.

14. Hunger
 SDI academy would have its own hi-tech
farm that would consist of poultry farm and
paddy field to produce food sufficient not
only for its students and staff but also to sell
them in the market and export them
overseas.
 We would also donate portion of our
produce to the regions in Africa where the
problem of hunger is most pertinent.

15. Lack of healthcare
 SDI Academy would work with hospitals to
donate blood for the patients from their
students in exchange for free health
checkup.
 SDI academy would also work with Doctors
w/o borders to set up mobile clinic and use
its nursing students as medical assistant to
provide affordable medical care for
everyone.

16. Climate change
 SDI Academy would partner with various logging
companies to plant trees. The students and staff
would be taking care of the plants and once the
plants are ready to be cut, the logging company
would sell it and the profits would be shared with
SDI academy that would fund for future projects.
 The students would work on Research &
Development of devices and methods to reduce
climate change.
 would also campaign to raise awareness about
climate change

17. To be able to do all that Successfully…
 We require a huge start-up funding to kick-start the
entire system of self-sustaining school.
 We are currently working to provide quality services
and products at an extremely affordable price so as
to benefit a large community yet obtain a sizeable
amount of revenue that would be channeled to the
start-up fund.
 That would only be possible with the kind help of
people to sponsor us with the materials or resources
required to minimize cost  increase start-up fund

18. Current Projects

19. Services: Conversational English Course
 Currently we are holding conversational English courses
for a large number of Bangladeshi foreign workers who
are living in Singapore, at the same time, at an extremely
affordable price to generate start-up fund.
 Our target from this project was $5000
 However due to high cost incurred and lesser
participation than expected we only managed to raise
$342 after 4 lessons and at this rate we would only be
able to raise about $1000 after the entire course hence
we require your kind support and understanding.

20. Upcoming
Projects…

21. Products: Selling Affordable Stationeries
 SDI Academy is planning to sell affordable quality
stationeries i.e Pen bought directly from the producing
countries to eliminate middle man cost so as to able to
sell it at an extremely affordable price yet be able to
generate profit to be able to channel it towards the startup fund.
 Currently we are liaising with Saint Andrew’s Village that
comprises of St Andrew’s Junior school, St Andrew’s
Secondary School as well as St Andrew’s Junior College
with the total student population of about 5000 students
to become our model for the project and we hope to be
able to conduct our fund raising drive by March 2014.

22. Continuation…
 Looking at our success model of St Andrew’s Village
we then hope to be able to replicate this in all the
other 18 Junior Colleges in Singapore by June 2014.
 After that we hope to be able to replicate this into all
the 151 Secondary Schools in Singapore.
 And hopefully with the kind help, support and
donations of everyone we would be able to start the
construction of our SDI Self-Sustaining school
campus in Bangladesh between December-March
2015.

23. Our Thoughts…
Providing the Bridge
for everyone to be able
to shine…
