CHATHAM HALL RETURNS TO SOUTH AFRICA
From March 8-19, 2009, Chatham Hall students, parents (and grandparents!), alumnae, faculty, and administrators will travel to Cape Town, South Africa,
• to collaborate with teachers, prepare food, and undertake construction projects at the Lawrencia Primary School, in the under-resourced Bloekombos Township,
• to clear land, prepare and cultivate gardens, and renovate greenhouses in various townships through Soil for Life, a dynamic self-empowerment agency, and
• to undertake environmental and community-relations projects at the Aquila Private Game Reserve, where we will also take two trips to sight rhinos, leopards, elephants, lions, and buffalo.
This will be the third year of the School’s unique social-service program, designed specifically for Chatham Hall through collaboration with Alterra Consulting, a dynamic, global-education organization in Washington, D.C.
Last year's trip was a very strong second step by Chatham Hall in our long-term, strategic commitment to global education. This year the group will deepen Chatham Hall's work with community action groups, expand collaborations with schools in South Africa, and deepen the friendships it has made in the last two years.
Note: Registration is due by October 15, 2008.
