This year, the Global Experience Program is offering THREE trips to South Africa and one to China.

1) NOAH, SOUTH AFRICA
In the summer of 2010, tentatively from July 30th to August 21st, selected students and accompanying faculty will travel to work with Havergal's project partnership with Durban Girls College (a Havergal Exchange partner) and NOAH in Durban, South Africa. This trip will extend the relationships initiated in the summer of 2009 when 9 students and 2 teachers worked with NOAH.

2) ORANGE RIVER/CAPETOWN, SOUTH AFRICA
Over March break, from March 4th to March 21st, 2010, selected students will travel with Ms. Whitfield and Mr. McCulloch to the Orange River and Capetown in South Africa. This will be an outdoor education and community outreach experience in partnership with students and staff from St. Cyprian's School in Capetown (also a Havergal Exchange partner).

3) WHITGAP, SOUTH AFRICA
In August 2010, four students and two Havergal teachers, along with two Derrydown teachers will travel to Queenstown, South Africa. The group will also visit the GAP school and GAP College (grades 10 to 12) in Queenstown. Students will work with teachers and students at WhitGAP to organize the library and to model a reading program for the older students at the school to work with younger children.

4) CHINA
Also during March break, from March 6th to March 18th, 10 to 16 students and parents will travel to Beijing and Xi’an to take Mandarin courses and to explore historic and present day China. This program is in partnership with Xueyuan Centre, a division of Renmin University in Beijing, to provide students and parents with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the language and culture of China.
