A
reception for alumni of Richland One’s Student
Exchange To Africa (ROSETA) program is Sunday, Oct. 20,
from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at Bethlehem Community Center,
2500 Elmwood Ave., featuring Borenya West African
Drumming and Dance.
In
1992, Richland One initiated a school-to-school
partnership with two international schools in Cameroon
and Gabon. Groups of middle school students and one
group of high school students, along with chaperones,
have traveled to Africa to learn about the culture and
educational system. The last group to travel to Africa
visited Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast).
Attendees
are encouraged to wear African attire. There will be a
short program, including introduction of former student
ambassadors and an invitation to join the alumni
association. Contacts are Alfred Vanderpuije, Vera
Johnson-Burkett and Emma McGraw Myers; call 929-3881 to
confirm attendance.
