Shelvan Kannuthurai wants to give the poor a fighting chance. He and the CCBC team have pioneered Professeurs Pour Liberté, which is utilizing the education portal, e-Studies.com, to provide post-secondary education to as many as 92 million African students at no cost to them.

Shelvan Kannuthurai knows a thing or two about sharing. The Sri Lankan immigrant shares his experience with information technology with pupils at his school, the Canadian College of Business and Computers (CCBC). He also expects his students to work together, sharing and building team skills that will help them succeed in business. Now, he wants the world to share its knowledge to support peace and prosperity in Africa.

Shelvan and the CCBC team have pioneered Professeurs Pour Liberté, which is utilizing the U.S. education portal, e-Studies.com, to provide accredited post-secondary education to as many as 92 million African secondary-school graduates. This would be an extension of the United Nations Education For All (EFA) initiative. Just as Médecins Sans Frontières created meaningful contributions to Africa, Professeurs Pour Liberté is calling for collaborative participation from teachers and post-secondary institutions to volunteer their time and resources to provide education to all students.

Shelvan’s vision was inspired by the words of Mother Teresa, who endeared the world with, “a little bit, a lot can give.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
