As we approach the end of the school year, we at GNG are saving the best for last. Here are our FREE programs coming up in May:
1. PROJECT UGANDA – Free, Courtesy of Polycom
While Uganda is one of Eastern Africa’s most beautiful countries, it is also a land of suffering and conflict. In this program, students will explore Ugandan culture, examine the challenges youth face living in a conflict zone and learn how they can be Agents of Change, by supporting their hosts’ communities.
When: Monday, May 21 through Friday, May 25.
Times: 9 am | 11 am EST
Contact David Macquart at to sign up.
2. DESMOND TUTU – MAY 7th

When: Monday, May 7th
Time: 3 pm EST
Note: this program is available to CURRENTS participants only.
