Each Summer Louisville students have the opportunity to travel to Tamale, Ghana for a life changing experience.

Interns spend six weeks in Tamale: living, working, eating and breathing Ghanaian culture and hospitality.

In 2006 Sister Cities of Louisville and its Ghanaian partner, Sister Cities of Tamale created a summer internship program for university level students. Each summer the program seeks to match the skills and interests of one or two U.S. college students with the needs of Sister Cities and Sister Cities’ affiliated programs in Tamale, Ghana.
