PULSE SHOTS: Supporting Schools Overseas

The Good Hope Educational Initiative hosted its fifth annual fundraiser on Nov. 10 at the Columbia Art League. GHEI raises funds to support a primary school in a township in Cape Town, South Africa. The group raised $5,700 to provide support for school fees, supplies, musical instruments and subsidize a lunch program. The University of Missouri has had a relationship with the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town for 28 years, and professors and students from all UM campuses have participated in this collaboration. GHEI is a not-for-profit organization that has sprung from this relationship.
