Partners in Action

The Eastern Regional High School Roots & Shoots group from New Jersey, USA, was paired with the Gbawe Youth Club in Mallam-Accra, Ghana.

"So far, I've learned the other projects the Ghana group are doing and how they conduct a successful club. It was interesting to see how an established club was working, since, it is just the beginning of the school year for us, and we are having a rocky start. It is nice to receive advice every once in a while.

Their club is extremely organized, which I admire and strive for. It was also good to see the variety of projects both of us do.

It is amazing to know that I can learn and communicate with a stranger and group from a different part of the world all because we have the same interest in being a Roots and Shoots member."

~ Natalie Kittikul, Eastern Regional

"Our partnership with the Eastern Regional High School Roots & Shoots has made us understand that we are not alone. Others are doing something to make the world at peace. Eastern Regional High School Roots & Shoots is also taking actions that are contributing to the sustainable development in the coming decade."

~ Philip Kyei, Ghana
