Why not bring them the World?
The Malaika Foundation benefits Nebraska educators and students interested in bringing a global perspective into their classrooms and careers. We believe each global experience can have an exponential positive impact on both teachers and students they educate.
“It was truly life changing experience. An unparalleled adventure, it forced me to reevaluate the way I had been looking at the world.”
-Joe-Ann Moser, Borlaug-Ruan Intern and Hank Beachell Fellow
