Service-Learning in Africa...
Regardless of whether you are a professional or a student, GHFP invites you to join a team on a journey to Africa to learn about unknown cultures, and dedicate your time, skills, and labor to a community of orphaned children struggling with poverty, HIV/AIDS, and illiteracy. These trips will be tailored to meet the needs of the local Africans while remaining cognizant of your skills and expertise including but not limited to: education, engineering, healthcare, counseling, and art & design. We at GHFP thank you for your commitment to make a stand, participate on a trip, and actively take part in the global effort to eradicate poverty in Africa, curb HIV/AIDS, and empower orphaned children!
This journey will offer:
Prior to the trip, there will be a short interactive introductory course. After the trip, the students will be encouraged to attend GHFP events and remain involved as a Campus Ambassador for the orphans.
JOIN US and FIGHT POVERTY!
This journey will offer:
- Immersion in rural villages ravaged by HIV/AIDS, poverty, and illiteracy.
- An opportunity to become engaged with a very different culture thereby encouraging the development of cultural competence.
- Interaction with children who are dealing with the grief of losing their parents while, often times, also dealing with the burden of raising their younger brothers and sisters.
- A means of experiencing the dramatic beauty of a country that has not been affected by pollution and industrialization.
- An opportunity to teach at rural, impoverished, and poorly resourced primary and secondary schools.
- Hands-on experiences at HIV clinics, African NGOs, orphanages, and much more!
- A journey you will carry with you for the rest of your life...
Prior to the trip, there will be a short interactive introductory course. After the trip, the students will be encouraged to attend GHFP events and remain involved as a Campus Ambassador for the orphans.
