Opportunity International Partnership

We met with Opportunity International (OI) today to discuss a potential partnership. Here's how it works: OI gives loans to individuals and groups to run and start primary (elementary) and secondary (high school) schools in Ghana. ANE's scholars will be mentors to the students at the schools that are financed by OI. They both will engage in community development with World Vision. In short, ANE scholars will attempt to set the example for the next generation to go to college and help meet Ghana's national development needs. We have not yet finalized anything with OI, but will meet with the director before we return to the U.S.
