article from The Christian Science Monitor that
gives a smart, concise description of our programs.
Also, be sure to listen to the journalist's audio
piece describing road conditions in Africa – it
is vividly descriptive. |
Additionally, Amend executive director Jeffrey Witte has
been interviewed numerous times about childhood road safety
for children for various media, including an informative
article in Newsweek,
and a great article for Pop!Tech.
Amend has also received quite a bit of local press in
Africa. You can download a PDF of an article from the popular
Nigerian magazine True Love West Africa here and
a PDF containing an assortment of articles from newspapers
in Ghana here.
Perhaps best known for our Amend Luncheon held annualy at the Hôtel
