Operation Crossroads
OPERATION CROSSROADS AFRICA, INC.,a non
profit organization focusing on international
development and educational exchange, actively
seeks faculty, professionals and students to participate
in 8-week summer team projects in Africa. Projects
will involve: medicine; nursing; health; community
development; archaeology; architectural
photography; sports and recreation; conservation
and environmental management; alternative energy
development; farming and agricultural development;
animal husbandry and veterinarian work; reforesta
tion in the Sahelian belt; working in game reserves;
and tutorial assistance and compensatory education.
Projects are sponsored jointly by Crossroads and
various ministries of the different African countries
often in conjunction with the United Nations. Each
team will consist of about 10 Americans joined by an
equal number of African specialists and students.
Projects are located in rural communities, where
participants gain an immediate personal sense of
Africa that cannot be duplicated by academic courses.
Africa is a unique blend of cultures, life styles and
languages. Participation in the daily lives of Africans
will bring an immediate intimacy to the experience of
language learning and practice. Crossroads has a great
need for applicants with some background in French,
Portuguese, Arabic and various African languages.
During the past 25 years, Crossroads, whose
example inspired the creation of the Peace Corps, has
sent more than 6000 volunteers to 34 English, French,
Portuguese, and Arabic-speaking African countries to
spend their summers assisting rural village com
munities. This unusual experience provides a brief but
intense immersion in traditional and modern African
life and pushes individuals to re-examine basic
attitudes, standards, and beliefs in relation to people
with contrasting values and life-styles.
Both volunteer and leader positions are open.
Persons interested in participating in Crossroads'
Summer Work/Travel/Study Program must apply
immediately. Contact: Crossroads Africa, 150 5th
Avenue, New York, NY 10011; phone 212/242-8550, or
The Reverend Norman M. Rates, College Minister,
Box 284, Spelman College, Sisters Chapel, Lower
Level. Phone: 681-3643, Ext. 625; 243-4038.
