Our Local Connection: Global GU


It is amazing to see what an impact our own community is making on the world today. Gonzaga's Comprehensive Leadership Program hosts a summer long study-abroad program in Zambezi, Zambia. There, Gonzaga students will spend three weeks completing a wide variety of service projects, including educational literary projects, a health education program and teaching basic computer skills. There is a Gonzaga run blog that follows the experiences and service completed in Zambia. While certainly rewarding for the Gonzaga students abroad, this experience is extremely beneficial to those in Zambia that will receive both international and intercultural lessons in education. This is only one example of the limitless number of ways that we as a community can assist in educating others in underdeveloped nations.
