In 2010, PTPI student members demonstrated their commitment to service by participating in more than 60 GYSD projects. From New York to Ghana, Ukraine to Sri Lanka, PTPI student members made a difference by planting trees, donating school supplies to Operation International Children, beautifying their communities and more. In 2011, PTPI seeks to yet again increase participation in GYSD with the help of all of its student members around the world!

Be sure to check out how PTPI students made a difference during the 2010 GYSD weekend! Just follow this link to view their awesome photos.

In celebration of GYSD 2010, PTPI’s Lilongwe, Malawi Student Chapter members received a warm welcome by staff of the Bwaila Hospital when they arrived to engage in several sanitation activities. The sanitation activities included sweeping, mopping cutting grass, clearing litter and cleaning windowpanes among other chores. Ultimately, the chapter’s efforts created a clean and friendly environment for the staff, patients and visitors of the hospital. The chapter attributes the success of the GYSD event to cooperation and dedication among the volunteers.
