Study Abroad Ghana
Help Send our Students to Ghana!
The purpose of this project is to off set the cost for NIU students to engage in experiential learning in Ghana. As part of Black Studies, experience and engaging with the Diaspora is a key part of the program. However, for many of the students it is cost prohibitive.
By supporting this project, donors will be helping students cover their visas and airfare so that they can learn about pan - Africanism, NGOs and Black Studies from a global perspective.
