  • Western Carolinian October 20, 1994 News Teaching Fellows Connect With Students in Nambia Education students at WCU and in the African country of Nambia will soon be sharing ideas and cultural artifacts through a Peace Corps global education program. The Corps' World Wise Schools program was established five years ago to create a line of communication between American students and Peace Corps volunteers serving in foreign countries. WCU students in the Teaching Fellows Scholarship program have been matched up with Peace Corps volunteer Pat Stoddard of Florida. During a recent visit with WCU Teaching Fellows, Stoddard said she plans to use the World Wise Schools program to facilitate an exchange of ideas and cultural information between the Western students and her teaching students in Nambia. The program will involve adults for the first time when Western students are matched with students in Nambia, Stoddard said. Stoddard hopes the WCU students can relate to student teachers in Nambia the importance of upgrading the country's educational standards. The job of teaching students how to teach in Nambia is tough because "the teaching profession is really looked down upon," Stoddard said. Stoddard will take photographs of the Western students with her to Nambia when she begins her assignment there. If the Nambian students agree, communications will begin between the students there and at WCU. One of the goals of the Teaching Fellows Program are to provide "opportunities for building an understanding of education's place in a greater social context." According to Carol Burton, Director of Special Programs for the WCU College of Education and Psychology, "Presentations and seminars such as the one led by Pat Stoddard do much to meet these outcomes."

The event will be held on October 29, from 4-6pm in the UC Grandroom. Admission will be in the form of one can of food, which will be distributed to the needy through the Jackson County Social Services. Activities such as twister, basketball, fishing, tic-tac-toe toss, and bobbing for apples will be held. Prizes and candy will also be provided. "Having the festival is important so that children whose parents feel that Halloween is an unsafe holiday can have a chance to dress-up and enjoy themselves," said Karen Kevas, an organizer of the event.
