Africa Classroom Connection

The non-profit organization that I traveled with for this trip was Africa Classroom Connection (formerly known as Eshowe Community Action Group USA). The president and chair is Henry Bromelkamp who also was our fearless leader on our journeys through Malawi and South Africa.

Africa Classroom Connection holds a vision that every child in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa should have the opportunity for an excellent education. The mission is to provide resources to help build and improve schools in KwaZulu Natal. They work to get buildings built, help kids stay in school, and facilitate cultural exchanges/overseas travel.

Henry also sits on the board of directors as president for Books for Africa, a worldwide organization which was founded to end the book famine in Africa and help create a culture of literacy and provide the tools of empowerment to the next generation of parents, teachers, and leaders in Africa. You may have heard Oprah mention this group in the past.

My donation as part of my trip will help build a school like the one seen here.
