Head Hand Heart is an organization dedicated to the educational needs of an increasingly less educated global population. Our commitment is to continue to build and maintain educational institutions in the United States and abroad and create significant ties with other institutions around the world. We believe in the old-fashioned method of teaching the whole person.
Many students
at historically black colleges and universities do not
have the opportunity to study abroad either from the
lack of knowledge about programs, the lack of financial
resources, or the lack of personal cultural significance
of programs offered. It seems that most study abroad
programs neglect the importance of peoples of African
descent. The HBCU student fails to
see her/himself as anything but a visitor in the foreign
country.
The ability
to see how peoples of African descent share
a common bond, no matter where they are born, aids in
the process of unifying these peoples. No study abroad
program has emphasized the importance of the HBCU
student’s own cultural experience. As pressing as the
need is for language professionals in this country and
abroad it seems that many HBCU students still do not
take an interest in acquiring language skills. The
problem is that students think that they cannot relate
to speakers of the target language.
We've taken on the challenge of exposing students of African descent in
the United States to people of African Descent all over
the world. We have dedicated ourselves to showing our
young scholars how to build global communities with
populations ignored by the developed world. Our goal is
also to make study abroad economically possible for
those students who feel they are unable to afford it.
All of our study abroad
courses
are not only designed to help our students to
develop language skills but also skills that will allow
them to develop holistically. Each course has a guide
from the united states and is designed to be safe,
enlightening and loads of fun!
We pride
ourselves
on delivering the highest quality education in
the United States and abroad. We offer an abundance of
study abroad courses that not only enhance language
skill but cultural awareness and understanding as well. Our study abroad programs focus on the experience of
African descendants all over the world.
