Adjetey and Mashuli launch education initiative in Africa

Wendell Adjetey (History and African American Studies) and Etienne Mashuli (African Studies) have won a highly competitive fellowship from Echoing Green, a global nonprofit organization, to launch the Tujenge Africa Foundation in Burundi. More than 3,500 projects were submitted to Echoing Green for funding; only 52 were chosen. The two visionaries are putting the fellowship to use in their efforts to “establish the first English language preparatory school and public library in Bujumbura, Burundi.”
