Cultural and Educational Enrichment Project (CEEP)The DetailsWhat is the Cultural and Educational Enrichment Project?
There are five major components of CEEP that keep the students pretty busy. They are:
· The Cultural Enrichment Program provides information, in a four-day, structured environment, about our community, state, country and people. It is hosted by the English as a Second Language Dept. of Central WA University. Our organization secures speakers/leaders in our community to present information on a wide range of topics, e.g., Native Americans, visiting local/U.S. historical places, daily ESL, life in America, role of volunteers, local economy, role of government, orientation to the Business Week program, etc.
· The Business Week program is an educational opportunity where the students learn all aspects of being an entrepreneur, succeeding as business people, as well as the life skills of leadership, teamwork and goal setting. This program is conducted by business CEOs, not university professors. It is, however, held on the Central Washington University campus. The students live in the dormitory with an American room-mate.
o Follow-up visits to local businesses: purpose is to see first hand and talk with the owner on issues they had in establishing a small business, e.g., long-haul trucking of hay, beauty shop, soap-making, the wind energy site, alternative fuel, computing services, gift store, etc. This is done apart from BW.
· Program participants are given an opportunity to observe and participate in a variety of scheduled volunteer service activities. These include such places as Habitat for Humanity, Community Food Bank, hospital support help, or dispensing coffee at freeway rest areas. Host families are active in volunteer work and the students may participate with them as well, e.g., weekly guitar playing with host dad at a nursing home, community chorus group, etc.
· Because of hosting youth from contaminated areas in Belarus, health and dental care will be made available with needs taken care of within limitations of program and insurance.
o Medicine Care Package: local business/pharmacies/individuals provide over-the-counter medicines and personal care items for each program participant to take home.
· And to make all of this a success, our compassionate families who volunteer to host the Belarusian students are willing to open their homes and hearts for the summer visit. These families provide sightseeing opportunities to further enlighten the student to our culture and to show the beauty of the state of WA.
