IN JANUARY 2006, Fred Seymour an Elementary School in Calgary Canada began a curriculum based global citizenship project with an orphanage in Litein, Kenya. Over the following months, the students connect with children in Litein through pen pal letters. The students are empowered to work on a number of fundraising initiatives including; a grade one/two project to record, produce and release a fifteen track CD featuring thirteen songs in Swahili sung by the orphan choir. One class formed a company called Afri-Can and developed a presentation that they took to boardrooms in the shining towers of downtown Calgary. By the end of the school year a group of fourteen students, teachers and parents begin preparing to travel to Africa, ready and anxious to make a difference.
