Posted by MARIE LINDQUIST – As Heifer International prepares to open their new educational facility in Little Rock – Heifer Village – the Clinton School would like to help celebrate by recognizing the hard work of a 2008-2009 practicum team. Six Clinton School students (Lindsey Barnett, Ashley Davis, Tezira Jamwa, John Memmer, Yuriy Nesterov and Chanley Painter) worked for seven-months to develop a report titled “Recommendations for Heifer Village.”
The students adapted methodology, developed research tools, and collected opinions from hundreds of citizens and teachers who are most likely to benefit from the new facility. The information was analyzed and summarized under the guidance of Dr. Al Bavon, Associate Professor at the Clinton School.
The recommendations contained in the report not only demonstrate overwhelming public support for Heifer Village, but also address the practical needs for educators and the general public, providing an outline for how to better serve future visitors.
“The recommendations in the report have provided us with several avenues to pursue and we are looking forward to working with teachers in Arkansas to expand Heifer International’s reach into high school classrooms,” said Mya Sandi Aung, Manager of School Programs for Heifer Village at Heifer International.
Marie is the Clinton School’s director of field service education. The dedication and grand opening of Heifer Villiage is Friday, June 5, starting at 10:00 a.m. on 1 World Avenue.
