Business Students Without Borders e.V. (BSWB) is an organisation of HHL students that primarily aims at enabling business students to actively contribute to projects in the region Leipzig as well as in developing countries. The members want to provide theoretical and practical assistance in economic matters on a local and international level. For this purpose, the students participate in existing projects or try to develop own initiatives in order to apply their business knowledge and experiences to help people help themselves in a sustainable and responsible manner.
The organization exists since 2009 and recently brought the project “Weihnachten im Schuhkarton” (Christmas in a Shoebox) to HHL. More than 40 shoeboxes were filled and wrapped by students and staff members of the university during an afternoon event. Afterwards, the boxes could be sent to needy children in Central Asia and Eastern Europe.
