Exciting Announcement Our program is prominently featured in President Clinton’s new book Giving. The US Africa’s Children’s Fellowship was also featured on MSNBC and USACF President Mark Grashow spoke on a Panel with President Clinton to discuss the nature of Giving and our work!

The U.S. - Africa Children’s Fellowship, Inc. is dedicated to expanding and enhancing the education of children. Through developing respectful and trusting relationships, and appreciation for one another’s culture, the project will increase educational opportunities for all participating children, and their communities. And it is through mutual understanding and support, the children of Africa and the United States will build bridges to the future.

Activities in support of this goal include:

• Study and research

• Letter and e-mail exchanges

• Sharing of photographic histories

• School supports

• Collection of educational materials for African schools

• Raise funds for support these activities.
