Fifteen Californian students were fortunate enough to be chosen to spend their summer learning about their West African counterparts; specifically in the country of Ghana. This opportunity is not only exciting, but guaranteed to be a life changing experience.
Each student has created a Peace Project, a project intended to educate our community once the students return to California, which they will develop while in Africa, and complete upon their return. Take a moment to read their blog about their experiences and adventures on their trip during their month in Africa.
