ETHS strengthens support for schools in Malawi, Africa

Since the 2016-17 school year, the ETHS community has been working to help schools in Malawi, Africa where severe drought and famine have impacted sub-Saharan areas. Science teacher Mark Vondracek connected with Andrews Nchessie, science teacher and agriculturalist in Malawi, to reach out to teachers in U.S. and Australia who all together raised funds so land could be purchased for crops. During the past year, ETHS has sent $6,400 to Malawi (equivalent of 4.64 million kwacha).

Seniors Elizabeth Sperti, Noni Shelton, Noah Guale, Ben Silverman and Posey Cohen are working this year to continue the project and help lead further efforts.
