Informational Meeting for Traveling with a Purpose August 20, 2013

Travel with a Purpose

We are getting ready to roll out a service learning opportunity for those of you interested in going to Ghana, creating some connections and doing some work...in other words, traveling with a purpose. There will be multiple opportunities for you to participate, either by traveling to Ghana, supporting the team that is going to Ghana or by helping to support some of the on the ground work here in the US.

Here's some things to be looking forward to:

• Assembling, decorating and installing Little Free Libraries in locations where street girls and their babies will have access to books
• Piloting service learning opportunities - cooking classes, batiking, sewing and hair-dressing with the girls in the vocational school
• Creating a market for the girls' wares, by collecting orders of their goods prior to going to Ghana and delivering them upon return (great holiday giving opportunities)
• Painting and sprucing up the baby nursery where the babies of the street girls are cared for while the girls are in school and vocational training
• Opportunities to hold babies and read to children and engage in some important literacy experiences
• Experiencing and being part of Rotary in action in Africa
• And lots more!

 If you would like to be included on the mailing list to learn more please email us at kastutzm@smig.net or subscribe to this feed and we will keep you updated on the latest news. There will be an information meeting scheduled soon as well as the specifics for the trip as well as the partnership and fundraising opportunities coming SOON!

We do know that the dates that work best for Street Aid and the weather for traveling to Ghana will be around November 22nd to December 8th and that time will come quickly, so stay tuned and we will be in contact soon.
