Program History

The Jambo! program has graduated three classes. Both parents and participants have hailed the program as one of the best! Read what recent graduates had to say:

"The program was very interesting for me. Being a historian, I have overlooked Africa's history and this gave me the option to learn more. The best part was learning Swahili."

"The best part for me was learning the songs. In school you do not learn languages by singing. . . . I liked it a lot. There were lots of very fun activities. A very fun two-week program. I enjoyed it a lot."

"It was very interesting. I enjoyed how we were not just learning one thing, but a variety of things: the Swahili language, African history, music, etc."

"For me, the best part of discussing Africa history and economy. I also loved the dancing (even though I was not good at it!). I also enjoyed eating in the cafeteria a lot."

"The music, dancing and singing was so much fun, but I also loved learning a new language. The afternoon lectures/discussions were always enlightening."
