How did a basket weaving lesson turn into a lifelong
mission to educate school children in Ghana?
When Erin arrived in Ghana for her semester abroad with CIEE, her goals
were simple – escape the monotony of college life and explore another part
of the world.
Then she volunteered to help tutor the children of Kisseman Village in
exchange for basket weaving lessons.
That small gesture turned into a cross-continental organization called
The Kisseman Children’s Foundation, which today provides scholarships,
supplies, and after-school lessons through the sale of hand-woven baskets
and other fundraising efforts.
Thanks to Erin, Ghanaian children who may never have seen the inside of a
classroom are receiving a quality education and a future filled with possibilities.
While this achievement is remarkable in scale, it is not unusual. The
transformation students undergo during study abroad goes miles beyond
academic achievement. Erin emerged from the experience like many students
do – more confident and determined to make a difference in the world.
As educators, it’s imperative we encourage all students to study abroad –
not just to improve their job prospects, but to help them break out of the
“I” mentality and discover the power of “we.” Only then can they grow into
global citizens capable of contributing to our interconnected world.
For more than 70 years, CIEE has been committed to creating programs that
foster conversation and unity between people of all nations. We now offer
more than 200 programs in 55 locations throughout the world, across all
academic disciplines. Each and every program seeks to immerse students in
the culture – transforming not only their view of the world, but themselves.
