The first field trip of MADES was a great success! Our students joined the simulation activity “Struggle for Survival” at Crossroads Foundation yesterday, and well spent 2 hours experiencing and understanding poverty as it happens in many places around the world today and how we can make a difference as an individual.

MADES welcomed our first cohort of students this week! We are off to a good start 👏👏👏
