ALTOONA – The community is invited to attend a Beza Breakfast from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. April 13, at the Sheetz Center for Entrepreneurial Excellence in downtown Altoona.
Hosted by Penn State Altoona’s Enactus student organization, the breakfast is an opportunity for the public to learn about the college’s initiatives in Rwanda, Africa. A team of students and faculty will return to Rwanda in June for two weeks of work with the Star School, a day and boarding school for more than 500 low-income children. Projects to be implemented by Enactus include leadership workshops for Star School students, the construction of a greenhouse, the development of business and marketing plans for the school, and a feasibility study for distribution of Mavuuno Inc. greenhouses throughout the country.
A catered breakfast will be available from 9 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. for a $10 donation for adults. Children under 12 are free. RSVP to ejm24@psu.edu.
Claude Gatebuke, a Rwandan genocide survivor and the executive director/co-founder of the African Great Lakes Action Network, will speak at 9:30 a.m. This portion of the event is free.
