Why is ConnectEd Unique?
Many non-profit agencies send aid. ConnectEd is different because it desires to demonstrate the ability to connect people through technology and to utilize the power of education that exists within that connection. ConnectEd is a small, hands-on organization that integrates immersion and classroom experience for our US school partners while providing essential services to our developing nation school partners.
