Background:
Four board members are traveling to the Ayi Owen International grade school in Ghana, West Africa (www.ayiintl.com) in January 2008. Back in 1998 a college student lead organization called For One World provided the initial funds for the first classroom at the school run today by founder Ayisatu Owen. Today the school has about 250 pupils/20 teachers and For One World is a federally registered 501c3 dedicated to developing an effective low cost educational model with a travel scholarship program for volunteers (College students) who want to spend over a month at the school and scholarships for students in need at Ayi Owen International School. Last year’s “Pen Drive” was a great success with over 200 personal thank you letters written by the students to those who donated. Unfortunately those irreplaceable letters were stolen along with other luggage. This year we hope to again collect letters (not as many this time) and post several of them on our web site. Thank you for your contribution!
