Haddis Girma Continuity Forum

​Exchange Program

 

          The Haddis Girma Continuity Foundation aims to celebrate the richness of diverse cultures and heritages.   The Educational and Cultural Exchange Program is a volunteer enterprise geared to create and maintain a link between the indigenous homeland and the American way of life.  The program has multiple purposes: it serves as a way of regaining a sense of belonging and refreshing connections; it helps the participators to learn or become more proficient in English/Amharic and therefore, improve cross-cultural communication skills; and it encourages leadership through independent thinking.   Within this program, there will be several layers of participants, and ultimately, each participant will gain the ability to constructively cope with new circumstances as they embark on a life-impacting experience.
