TBA Students Leave for State Dept Funded Trip to Rwanda!

TechBoston — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:40:36 +0000

Students from TechBoston Academy and Hudson High School left Boston today and embarked on their almost 48 hour journey to Rwanda in central Africa. Students will spend three weeks there exploring Rwanda’s culture, history, and exploring a challenging curriculum created by Facing History.

The students were selected in the face of stiff competition for the few available spaces on the trip- which represents a partnership between TechBoston Academy and Hudson High School, of Hudson, MA. The trip will be coordinated by the Brookline based organization Facing History, and all of the attending students were required to attend weekly meetings at their location that have provided them with the historical, cultural, and social tools necessary to successfully fulfill the trip’s aim of bridging two communities separated by thousands of miles as well as investigating Rwanda’s sociological, political, and historical legacies.

The Students will be blogging about, and posting photos and videos of their experiences on their blog, which can be accessed here: Facing History Rwanda Student Exchange blog
