In June 2019, we will take 10 deserving scholars to Portugal and Ghana for a service trip during which scholars will have the opportunity to retrace the triangular trade for one week.
With the IB’s student population being predominantly African-American and Hispanic (over 90% combined), it will be important for students to get the opportunity to travel and have an understanding of their roots. Portugal is essentially the reason why the term African-American exists and why African-Americans live in Charlotte today. The same goes for Hispanic students and why they speak Spanish. Spain participated heavily in colonization and slave trading as well. Students will get an opportunity to tour the exact places where these atrocities occurred.
We are trying to make the trip as affordable as possible. We are booking each leg of the trip ourselves, so there is no middleman to collect any fees and increase the price. The first leg of our trip is to take a Greyhound bus from Charlotte to NYC. The plane tickets to Ghana are much cheaper from NYC. Your donation would help get our students on a greyhound bus to NYC!! Thanks for your consideration!
