Guinea
The Fria School in Guinea, sponsored by GCI, has been a center of innovation since it opened in 2006. The leaders of this institution have sought to diversify the curriculum, hold regular in-service training for the staff, provide alternative testing regimes for students, and encourage the students to learn another language while in school.
The results have been impressive. The pass rate on the national exit exams for 6th, 10th, and 13th grades is triple that of the national average. GCI’s role
Thailand
GCI is helping facilitate the creation of a music academy in a large city of northeastern Thailand. This academy will not only provide a place for musical instruction but also a venue for cultural exchange. The teaching staff is very international including nationals of Thailand, Malaysia, the US and Ecuador. GCI's hope is that the exchange of culture and music will be mutually enriching and build a foundation of global understanding for the young people involved in the programs.
Albania
In the vibrant and historic city of Berat, Albania, the GCI Community Care Center has been a lifeline for many families and individuals. During the economic downturn associated with COVID-19, the center continued to be steadfast in its commitment to organize and empower community support for the most vulnerable segments of society—families in need, individuals with intellectual disabilities, teens in community care and survivors of domestic violence, to name a few.
