Kaiser Omari Foundation; a registered non-profit organization in Accra with the mission of breaking barriers created by languages and also promote art among the youth and the children from the deprived backgrounds and contributing to developing world-class education for children in Ghana through the teaching of art and international languages (Spanish,French,German). Our goal is to help the less deprived children develop into global citizens and encourage them to look beyond their culture and recognize the incredible opportunities that are created by diversity and the richness of culture that is there across the world.The world is becoming increasingly inter-connected and it is important for young people to understand that they are an important part of the global community and learn to be able to engage in communication with people from different cultures. Knowing another language gives you instant access to another culture and you can easily make contact with someone in a different country if you speak their language. It enables you to become open -minded to different opinions, people and cultures. Most importantly, it will give children more choices when it comes to choosing further education. They will be free to choose which university they want to apply for, in which country depending on the language they speak. It will also be easier for them to participate in semesters abroad or an exchange program where they can study in another country. The ability to speak a foreign language is rated as an important skill in the world of work. Generally, people who are able to communicate in different languages have more advantages in life

The goal of this activity is to give teens in the community the opportunity to get tips on how to manage their life after high school.
We have a large teen volunteer program ranging from 9th through 12th graders that are looking to get involved with RMH of Charlotte.
There are lot of college ready teens will step into the real-world next year, and we want them to be prepared for it.
During this time of COVID, its hard to have that face to face mentor to help guide these young adults.
We would like to offer as a volunteer opportunity, an evening of hosting a panel of mentors to give advice on how to make sure that our teens are headed in the right direction. The focus will be on giving advice when it comes to getting ready for college life or jobs. Also, the mental preparedness that the teens will need to have when walking into the real world.
This is important to have because we have teen volunteers that we want to offer a different kind of support too, in lieu of volunteering in person. We believe that this opportunity will help them in the long run, instead of the causal volunteer hours that they receive afterwards.
The panel will be hosted on Zoom and will answer questions from the audience. This event will help our teen volunteer program and Kohl's tie together a meaningful relationship by being a virtual mentor.
