Fellow and Specialist
Dunlap - Constantine, Algeria
The program was an overwhelming success. One of the professors from the University in attendance stated, "Delia you are a teacher from the 'world' carrying a message of love!" While another student added, "I just wanted to say that you an inspiration for me and some day I hope I'll be a teacher just like you." One of the program’s most significant outcomes was the development of a strong friendship between Ms. Dunlap and the participants. In addition, the program also raised the level of participants’ interest in and awareness of African American history. Ms. Dunlap’s program provided a model of an interactive presentation where students actively participate in the presentation of the content. The workshop reinforced students’ skills in public speaking, creative writing, and reading. Since there are no Native speakers of English on campus (where there are 60,000 students total), the visit also provided a unique opportunity for students to meet and communicate with an American educator. Finally, Ms. Dunlap's visit contributed towards the maintenance of a strong link between the U.S. Embassy - Algiers and the American Corner - Constantine. Ms. Dunlap stated, “I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the students and professors at the University of Mentouri and especially the wonderful American Corner Director, Hassiba Ben Djaballah. I would also like the thank the volunteers who worked so hard to make the workshop such an enormous success.”
