The Jenny Draxlbauer Service Award
This award is given in memory of Jenny
Draxlbauer. Jenny was a student at VIS for
her whole school life and even during her
younger PYP years she was a campaigner. As a Secondary student she developed
a passion for the work of Maher and she
became a frequent visitor to India and the
Maher Ashram. After her graduation she
came back to VIS regularly to talk about
her visits and inspire a new generation of
students to support its work. After her sudden passing, her family credit the VIS community and exposure to the many different
cultures represented here as the basis for
her embracing Service as a core part of her
life. The recipient of this award is a student
for whom Service in the VIS community
is a way of life; who has shown a selfless
commitment to others and to the world in
which we live.
