Immediate January-Term Internship Opportunity

Teaching Teachers Forgiveness Education in Liberia

In partnership with Dr. Robert Enright, licensed psychologist and professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the International Forgiveness Institute, Inc., and Grace Network, the Student Mobilization Centre is seeking students and volunteers to help teach Enright’s Forgiveness Education curriculum to primary school teachers in Liberia.

Despite fourteen years of civil war, the future of Liberia is not without hope. The children of Liberia are the future. What is desperately needed in Liberia right now?

Liberian pastor Josiah T. Cheapoo, Sr., President of Grace Network, and Norm Bucholtz have a plan. Josiah and Norm are leading this two week outreach in January 2012. And Norm has 5 years experience teaching forgiveness education. Last January 2011, Josiah and Norm went to Liberia to teach this extraordinary curriculum. As a result, they have been invited to teach forgiveness education in every school in the country, both public and religious schools.

To complete this challenge, we need to teach teachers who will teach both children and other teachers. This strategic plan will begin with this first team of up to ten participants teaching teachers in Gbamga, Liberia.

Who should apply?
Education, Social Work, Psychology, and Youth Workers and students.
