4.Oppertunity to Study In Africa
Check out this awesome opportunity!

On behalf of Bridge Education Abroad Institute (BEAI), I am writing to you
today to
inform you about our summer programs in South Africa. Our institute plans
short
programs all across the world, to provide students with unique
opportunities to
experience different political cultures while strengthening their
leadership and
diplomacy skills. Our programs draw a diverse group of students together
from all
over the world to discuss pressing global issues while exchange cultural
values. In
a rapidly globalizing world, we believe these experiences are invaluable
to the
success of students in the global job market.

For the summer of 2015, we have programs scheduled in Cape Town and
Johannesburg for
the months of June, July and August. This program will include lectures from
experienced professors and guest speakers from all over the globe,
including the
United States of America. A few of our professors include:

Foundation

Young people
understanding their roles as powerful agents of change – actively,
confidently and
positively contributing towards a better global community.

&#9830; Paired with 12 local South Africans for a meaningful day of service

The students will enrich their knowledge of South Africa’s history,
international
politics, and economics while also enjoying travel to famous and historic
places. We
also encourage students to get to know one another and share cultural
values through
planned social events.

·  Nelson Mandela’s Jail Cell at Robben Island
·  Big 5 African Safari
·  Apartheid Museum
·  Visit President Nelson Mandela’s home in the Soweto’s
·  NGO Service Learning day with Local South African Leaders

Please Note: We limit our South Africa programs to 12 students per program to
enhance the students learning between our professors and students.

Even with the summer close at hand, there are still plenty of students still
figuring out their plans for the upcoming break. We hope you will consider
recognition of our institute as an option for your students who are
looking for
international opportunities. We would greatly appreciate if you can pass the
