Connect Your School to COPI
Grade schools in the U.S. can partner with Circle of Peace School through our classroom peer-to-peer program.
Our Peer-to-Peer Program
Children and teachers at schools like COPI face numerous challenges, including overcrowded classrooms, unsanitary latrines, too few classroom furnishings and outdated textbooks.
In 2009, we set up a classroom peer-to-peer program between students at Circle of Peace and students in the U.S. Grade school teachers and administrators in the U.S. may partner their schools with Circle of Peace School and its students through pen pal programs, fundraising and more.
It’s an excellent way to introduce students to the issues of poverty and global citizenship.
How Your School Will Benefit
