Ghana Fellows 2014

Welcome! On the eve of their departure for Ghana, it is a joy to introduce this summer’s 5 BiCo Dalun Community Fellows, an extraordinary group of Bryn Mawr and Haverford College students whose dedication and depth were richly demonstrated during a highly competitive selection process. Two fellows will be serving as teacher’s assistants in Titagya Schools preschool and kindergarten classrooms.  Two will be serving with the Simli Centre and Simli Radio, a training center and community radio station respectively. One, a recent graduate, will serve together with a local colleague as the on-site coordinator.  The team will also develop special projects in collaboration with colleagues in Dalun, Ghana.  The fellowship includes pre-departure orientation, on-site orientation, weekly group reflection sessions, regular lessons in the local language, Dagbani, a post-fellowship teach-out, and a fall course selected to support affiliated analysis and research. -- Alice Lesnick, Director
