Project Details
Since he finished serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, African Sky Executive Director Scott Lacy
has visited elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools to promote public service and to bring
Africa into US classrooms. In 2009, Lacy visited four elementary schools in California, Florida, and Ohio.
Teacher and African Sky Development Director Melissa Mallory organized the California visits and
coordinated a special coin-drive to support Africa Sky's education programs in Mali, specifically for the
10 for 2010 campaign and Operation School Bag. During our visits to elementary schools we visit
individual classrooms and full school assembles; Lacy typically presents a 50-minute program that
includes video clips and music from Mali, West African proverbs and stories, masks, and interactive
games using original art created by Malian students.
We provide our US Schools programs at no cost to the schools we visit. The US Schools Program required
no funds from the African Sky operating budget. Program services and travel costs for FY2009 school
visits were paid by Scott Lacy, Matt Sanders, Chris Lacy, Cherie Wade, Helen McKee, and Linda Peshina.
