Marla worked with the Village Project in Samhutsa, Zimbabwe.  Before her internship, she arranged with her local public library, local schools, and family friends to bring 6 sets (used, but in excellent condition) of encyclopedias to Zimbabwe that were distributed in local schools in Chipinge District.

Nancy Krell, Teacher, A. Russell Knight School, 6th Grade Class, 1997.

Mrs. Krell led the Knight School book drive for the 6th grade.  Speakers from ACA addressed her class showing slides and artifacts from Africa.  The students were able to learn about Africa and make a personal investment in the lives of their fellow students.  Teachers that bring this much to their students are truly special.

Gloria Meakins, Principal, Carusi Junior High School, Cherry Hill, NJ.

Mrs. Meakins served as principal of the Knight School before accepting her present post.  She has helped in organizing the book drive at Knight, and now serves on the ACA board of directors.
