The communities listed below have reached across oceans and many borders to have fun, hold hands, dance, sing, play, learn together and raise our children to be global citizens and leaders. The U.S. community is on the left and the overseas community is on the right (all in Zambia except the Tamilnadu). The number of students supported in pre-schools and government schools is noted. Including the three university students and the preschool teacher training we have supported total the total number of students is over 1,400. About half of these students are girls. There are many opportunities for your U.S. organization to join Communities Without Borders and experience what wonderful relationships can mean. They have enhanced our lives brought meaning and education to our friends and children.
