Today FXB brought youth from three after-school centers (Soweto, Alexandra, and Witbank) to meet each other, to build on our cross-cultural understanding project and to engage in a thematic collage art project about women.
In 2005, students in my World Cultures' Classes at Oakland High School began corresponding with students in Uganda and South Africa through thematic written, art and video exchanges. The purpose of these exchanges were to foster cultural understanding and to raise awareness about HIV & AIDS - in Africa and in our local communities.
I'm here in South Africa on a teacher fellowship to build on this partnership, to connect and to learn and grow.
Thank you, Fund For Teachers, for making this travel opportunity possible!
