— Rianne, USA

... that it’s hard for American teens to relate to the issues faced by kids in a war zone, so I have created a website to help them learn about Afghanistan in a way that is more real for them.
— Kirsten, USA

... that terrorists target the illiterate because they’re powerless. I started a nonprofit organization to bring literacy to Afghan refugees and, yes – I’m only seventeen.
— Tim, USA

... literacy – and education – over a future farming poppies, because that’s no future at all.
— Agha Wali, Afghanistan

... getting an education is the only way out of poverty, and out of the slums. So I’m joining other girls like me – and fighting to stay in school.

— Sarah, USA

... having American kids as my friends, my partners – and my equals, instead of just receiving charity from them.
— Antoine, Haiti

... my freedom as an American to speak out, and I use my voice for kids who can’t. Through the newsletter Fatima and I started, Afghan girls are getting their voices heard, too.
— Madeline, USA

... help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS by using my voice. I started a public speaking campaign to fight ignorance, fear and discrimination. With education, we can stop this killer.
— Catherine, Kenya

... that kids all over have to get creative if we’re going to really solve world problems. I started a campaign to help bring stability to Afghans through skateboarding!
— Luke, USA

welcome to children's culture connection

It’s not enough to just want to save the world – we teach kids to actually do it.
Designed to take students beyond compassion alone, our dynamic multi-media curricula immerse students in some of the most historic, influential and challenging places on earth. While engaging kids in both countries as teachers and students, we create well-rounded thinkers and culturally intelligent global partners.

Why CCC?
What nations don’t know can hurt them. Global competence is a 21st century imperative; and the 21st century is here.
