CHATHAM HALL RETURNS TO SOUTH AFRICA
For the second year Chatham Hall led a program of social action in South Africa. From March 9-21, 2008, students, parents, alumnae, faculty, and administrators traveled to Cape Town to collaborate with teachers and prepare food at the Lawrencia Primary School, a powerful force in the under-resourced Bloekombos Township. Additionally, the group cleared land, prepared and cultivated gardens, and renovated greenhouses in various townships through Soil for Life, a dynamic “self-empowerment” agency.
This unique program is designed specifically for Chatham Hall through collaboration with Alterra Consulting, a dynamic, global-education group in Washington, D.C.
Last year's trip was a strong first step by Chatham Hall in our long-term, strategic commitment to global education, and this year the group had the opportunity to deepen Chatham Hall's work with community action groups, while also expanding collaborations with schools in South Africa.
