"In Fulani, which is my native language, welcome is translated as 'sadhi,' which means to feel like home. It also means to feel a sense of belonging." - Mamadou Diallo, Immigrant and Refugee Services at Inspiritus
Thank you to Mamadou and our partner Inspiritus for sharing what "welcome" means to you! Today we are thankful for all of our GVP partners and our wider community of support. Thank you for standing with us in welcome!

#ThrowbackThursday to three years ago when GVP students shared what they're most thankful for at GVP: the learning and the support, definitely, but also the delicious food at Agnes Scott College 😁We love good food, too, especially for Thanksgiving!

Welcome to day 4 of the 2020 Global Village Welcome Walk! Thank you to everyone who has Supported 47, Shared 47, and Moved 47 so far this week!
Another reason why we do this event every year: Refugee learners and English Language Learners tend to be marginalized by traditional educational practices. In contrast, GVP's strengths-based model centers students' needs and experiences to create a more inclusive, equitable, and empowering approach. That's how we're able to give refugee learners the support they need to thrive, and you can support our impact by giving below:
We're 98% of the way to our new goal of $60,000! Let's keep the momentum going - give today at ow.ly/vH4I50Cua3g!
