Exchanges
Children Inspiring Hope connects children cross-culturally, twice a year, through arts and education projects based on our shared humanity, peace building, and Earth stewardship.
Spring 2025
The Power of Pollinators
This spring, we are celebrating our 32nd exchange, marking a significant milestone in connecting students from the U.S. and Ghana. Our focus is on Earth Stewardship and the power of pollinators, emphasizing the importance of small actions that make a big difference. By appreciating and protecting these vital creatures, we foster a deeper understanding of our ecosystems and the interconnectedness of all life. This exchange encourages students to embrace their roles as stewards of the Earth, cultivating a sense of responsibility and purpose that extends beyond the classroom and into the world.
Fall 2024
Cultivating Gratitude
This fall, we are celebrating 16 years of bridging students in the U.S. and Ghana. Our focus will be on Cultivating Gratitude and harnessing the energy of purposefulness. Grateful living is an orientation to life that changes our perspectives, helps us flourish, and builds character, strong relationships and even improves our health. Gratitude generates a climate of positivity that begins internally, but extends outward.

Since 2008, Children Inspiring Hope has connected over 8,000 students in Canada, Ghana, West Africa, and the United States. We have collaborated with over 225 educators in more than 35 schools, and built lasting relationships in the communities in which we work.
