Students from Kosovo get the opportunity to study in the USA!



To all readers, teachers, but particularly to the students in Kosovo - check out this link: http://www.ccwakyep.org/. The US Department of State and Cleveland Council on World Affairs put together this fantastic program - a group of 16 selected highschool students from Kosovo will get the chance to live and study in the USA! The Cleveland Council found the KosoSchools blog and contacted me. I was thrilled that finally someone came up with the idea of enabling students from Kosovo to study in the US. I was privileged myself to get a similar chance in 1996 when through the program of the Foundation for a Civil Society, I spent one year at Ridley College in Canada. This experience changed my life and I can say that I have benefited from the opportunity ever since! International education is truly one of the major forces of positive change in this world and particularly in Kosovo, there are students, who will be later able to turn their international experience into benefit and advancement of their society. All contacts and information are under the link above, so if you are eligible - APPLY. Also, if you know someone, who would be interested in applying, please forward this link to them. The administrators of the program are doing a great job, but it is not so easy to reach schools in Kosovo from as far as Cleveland.
