Going back

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Planning is in process for the return to Vukuzenzele in January 2009. May 9, 2008 OCCE presented a video and PowerPoint concerning the plight of Vukuzenzele to Kettering University’s student chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) and the students involved are very excited about the OCCE and Vukuzenzele Project.  They are presently working toward submitting a proposal to EWB concerning the OCCE project.Thursday May 1, 2008 met with : Michelle Owens, PhD, Michigan State University’s Associate Director of International Agriculture and Director of International Extension Programs and David Fenech from Michigan State University (MSU) Extension Service - Genesee County.   Both were very enthusiastic about the work that OCCE is doing and are willing to  partner with OCCE with a health and nutrition agricultural program and possibly an exchange program between schools here and Lourdes Mission School or Cetyswayo Primary.
