Feedback on the UCC from the University of Ghana

The University of Ghana send some of their international students from the USA to volunteer at the UCC on their free days. The programme Director Kwasi has written the following write up for Future Leaders, for which we are very grateful and happy to share with our followers: 

"International students under the sponsorship of Council of International Educational Exchange (CIEE) who come to study at University of Ghana, Legon for either a semester or a year have been undertaking internship, volunteer and community service projects at Future Leaders Underprivileged Children's Center at Teshie Camp 2 here in Accra for close to 3 years now.

I serve as the Resident Director of CIEE here at University of Ghana and I am proud to say that every student we have placed at Future Leaders have had a really rewarding and transformational experience.  The student interns, under the supervision of officials of Future Leaders UCC, have had a better understanding of the Ghanaian educational system, and are able to compare the educational systems of the US and Ghana.  The experience and opportunity has made student interns want to pursue their education degrees and work with marginalized in society as they have learnt that there is potential in every human person, especially children, and that given the right opportunity, tutoring and guidance these children become better persons and will contribute to the growth and development of countries like Ghana.

We at CIEE here at University of Ghana are grateful to Future Leaders UCC for the educationally transforming experience they give our student interns."
