This experience changed my life! Now, I have more dreams and some other goals. I'm so thankful for everything that I've learned. I want to continue growing as a human and as a teacher. The Amity program is one the best things that ever happened to me." - Michelle, 2018-2019 Intern

We have been working with Amity for several years. Learning about different cultures, communities, traditions, music, arts, dances and more, helps our students to see the world as a global place fostering diversity and respect. Having a second adult in the classroom helps our teachers to be able to have more individualized attention to students and work on small groups. Amity has been a wonderful organization to work with, reliable and accessible, bringing highly qualified young people to work in our school."- Maria Buceta Miller, Amity School Coordinator, John Stanford International School

Intern Alumnus Spotlight: Elhadji Abdou Sarr from Intern Alumnus Spotlight: Elhadji Abdou Sarr from Senegal 🇸🇳

Mr. Sarr participated in Amity’s Intern Program in 2023-2024 and recently reached out to us to express his gratitude for the program along with sharing what he has been up to! 

“I wanted to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the incredible opportunity I had through Amity Institute to work at Academy Lafayette in the United States. It was a truly enriching experience that greatly shaped my personal and professional journey.

Since returning to Senegal, I have continued working with children by teaching English to young learners. Inspired by the methods, creativity, and cultural exchange I experienced in the U.S., I have developed engaging English sessions tailored for kids here. It has been both rewarding and exciting to apply what I learned during my time with you.

I’ve attached a few pictures of my students and some of the activities we’ve been doing. I hope this gives you a glimpse of the positive impact your program continues to have—even beyond borders.

Thank you again for your support and for believing in global exchange. I would be happy to stay in touch and share more updates in the future.

Warm regards, 
Elhadji Abdou Sarr”
