We are so happy to have two volunteers, Cassandre and Scott, joining us for our second mission to the Ivory Coast! In keeping with our mission to provide financial, intellectual and material assistance to innovative villages we are traveling with two bright, dynamic and young educators.
Cassandre is a kindergarten teacher at the Lycee Francais de Los Angeles and Scott is a Biology teacher for grades 9-12. He also designs and implements a variety of classroom management strategies to maintain a high level of student engagement.
In addition, we have two program directors in the Ivory Coast. Mrs. Jeannette Allelet who is an educator and recently completed her degree for teaching mentally challenged students. Mr. Daniel Kodia a doctor who designed prevention health clinics for his village of Assinie.
Now that our team is growing and a date for our second mission is set, we are focusing on gathering as much supplies as possible. The list of supplies can be viewed on our website www.yakoly.org
Don't hesitate to contact me (yolande@yakoly.org) if you wish to help in anyway, such as conducting a drive in your area to gather school supplies, etc.
About Me
- YoGo
- I cannot think of any other way to say anything about myself without mentioning Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I read this book in college and it literally changed my life. I was looking for a direction in my life and I adopted Siddhartha approach to discovering his self by never backing down from a challenge or a new venture while applying everything he learned along the way. This is the definition of Yolande Gordon. Never back down from a challenge and always welcome a new path in life, nothing is static. I am taking on this new path by quitting my mediocre job as an Insurance Broker, writing on a blog, founding a Non Profit organization and a consulting company.
