Followed by a panel discussion with University of Manitoba Professor, Kelley Beaverford.
This film follows a five week collaboration between a small group of students from the University of Manitoba and local construction workers in a rural village in Northern Ghana. Together, the team constructed a new boarding house for a group of schoolgirls from the region. The unique project was built entirely on-site without power tools. The documentary is based on a course titled ‘Service Learning in a Global Community’ led by University of Manitoba Professor Kelley Beaverford.
