Background on Project 1808, Inc (http://www.pacsafrica.org)At the core of our sustainable community model is an investment on disadvantaged youths, schools and their communities to form the building blocks as in LEGO of healthy communities in Sierra Leone and Africa. We engage and connect students, teachers, community members through small pointed and targeted projects that address disconnects between learning and community problem solving. Our student-community project focus areas include, but not restricted to water accessibility, sanitation, small scale business, improve food production, renewable energy, and public health. By linking youth education to community needs in the most disadvantaged regions, we want to enhance creativity, innovation and develop next generation of compassionate leaders. Through specific GLocal (Global and Local) partnerships, we bring to practice the concept of thinking globally and acting locally that enhances knowledge exchange, cultural competency, while expanding their world view. Project 1808 is committed to optimizing partnerships between educational institutions locally, within Africa and overseas, particularly with involvement of other African countries.
