In June of 2006 four students from North Central High School, Indianapolis,  traveled to Senegal with Wings for West Africa vice-president, Habib Diatta, as part of our mission to train teachers to use the computer technology provided by Wings.  They spent three weeks living with African families while teaching keyboarding and basic computer skills in French to teachers and other interested members of three school communities.
