The International School of Art, Business, and Technology in Ghana will provide students and teachers, both African and Western, with training in art, education, business, and technology, which in turn will be used for the betterment of their community and ours.   We are an Institution of learning where there is a cultural exchange, a freedom of thinking, and a collaboration of cultures, creative ideas, business strategies, and instruction in new technology, that brings passionate people from different backgrounds together with a mission to share, work together, and develop educational and service oriented programs for the betterment of financially disadvantaged communities that can positively shape the future of our world.

This past summer, I visited Ghana to conduct a book-making project utilizing media technology. Collaborating with three schools, using just a laptop and printer, I worked with students to help them write and print their own unique stories into books. The project was a heartening success and I plan to continue with future projects.
