Umngani-Connect Delivered First Tutor Video for Its Partner Ukhanyo Foundation
As a CCCA Youth Project, Umngani(朋友)-Connect’s mission is to provide opportunities for American students to learn about the issues of poverty and international development while fostering leadership with hands-on interaction with organization from another country. Umngani-Connect is partnering with the Ukhanyo(灯火) Foundation in South Africa. Ukhanyo foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance to students in South Africa who are lacking academic support due to social economic issues. This project really provides a unique opportunity for students that no others can.
This week, we have finished our first tutor video for the Ukhanyo Foundation and they greatly appreciated our support. We are planning to host a video conference between two groups next week. It will be a great opportunity for us to learn about another culture and make new friends. The Umngani-Connect is open for high school students to enrich their knowledge and gain leadership expertise as well as service hours. Please contact CCCA if you are interested in this project!
