Much has been written regarding the need to prepare American college
and university students for global citizenship. In 1995, the American Coun-
cil on Education's International Commission on International Education
emphasized the need for colleges and universities to become institutions
without boundaries in order to successfully prepare students for the new
global environment of the 21'' century (American Council on Education,
1995). Higher education faces many challenges in making this transfor-
mation. Green and Olson (2003) stated that the internationalization of
college and university campuses requires new pedagogies that encourage
interdisciplinary and integrative learning and that allow students to inter-
act with the subject matter and apply it to things that matter.
Service learning has been used extensively over the past decade to
support student involvement in their local communities. Service learning
is a form of experiential education aimed at enriching student learning
of course material. The term service learning was first coined in 1969 by
members of Southern Regional Education Board who described it as "the
accomplishment of tasks that meet genuine human needs in combina-
tion with conscious educational growth" (Stanton, Giles, & Cruz, 1999).
Service learning has developed in part in response to a reform movement
that questioned the passive, didactic process of postsecondary teaching
and learning and the need to promote awareness of community issues and
social responsibility (Stanton, 1990). A distinguishing feature of service
learning is its reciprocal and balanced emphasis on both student learning
and community service. Objectives are co-determined with community
partners and are linked to meaningful and needed outcomes for both stu-
dents and communities. Class lectures and discussion, assigned readings,
independent research, and reflection activities inform the student projects
and also provide advanced learning opportunities. As a consequence, the
application of academic content to real-life situations is enhanced and stu-
dent comprehension of social issues is deepened.

Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIDLD RIGHTS INTERNATIONAL EMPOWERS CIDLDREN IN COCOA-
GROWING COMMUNITIES
Issued; October 13, 2023
Child Rights International (CRI) is thrilled to unveil its latest initiatives, dedicated to the
support and empowerment ofchildren in cocoa-growing communities throughout Ghana. As a
non-governmental organisation deeply committed to safeguarding the rights and well-being of
children, CRI has embarked on a series of projects designed to enhance the educational and
vocational opportunities for children, with a significant emphasis on eradicating child labour
in cocoa-growing communities.
Under the umbrella of the CRI Community Remediation and Empowerment Programme
(CREP), CRI has made remarkable progress in providing educational opportunities and
vocational training for children in various cocoa-growing communities. Over the years, we
supported a substantial number ofchildren inTechnical and Vocational Education and Training
(TVET) and offered educational support to many others.
This year, CRI has supported a total of twenty-five (25) children across three cocoa-growing
districts. Out of this number, fourteen (14) children in New Juabeng, seven (7) in West Akim
and four (4) in Ayensuano Districts, have embarked on apprenticeships in vocations such as
hairdressing, masonry, plumbing, sewing, and many more. An additional one hundred and
thirteen (113) children are set to benefit across five (5) districts.
Furthermore, through the School Improvement Support Scheme (SISS), CRI has provided
five (5) nursery schools within the Atwinma Mponua, Ayensuano and West Akim Districts
with child-friendly furniture, educational materials, and refurbished classrooms. These
improvements are already creating amore conducive learning environmentfor children in these
areas.
Presently, CRI is actively involved in the renovation of two (2) kindergarten schools in the
Atwinma Mponua and Suhum Districts. This endeavour aims to ensure that children aged four
(4) to six (6) years canaccess quality education without the need for long and arduous journeys.
This initiative aligns seamlessly with CRI's unwavering commitment to creating opportunities
for children in cocoa-growing communities.
Additionally, approximately four thousand (4,000) Junior High School (JHS) students across
thirty-five (35) districts within the Ashanti, Eastern, Western-North, Bono, Ahafo and Western
regions will receive textbooks, exercise books, and notebooks. By undertaking this endeavour,

2. CRI aims to significantly enhance the educational resources available to these students,
granting them the advantages needed to excel in their studies.
Under the CRI Tony Fofie Child Development Fund (TFDF), a total of thirty-one (31)
students have received scholarships, with twenty-nine (29) of them awarded tertiary
scholarships and two (2) given secondary scholarships.
Furthermore, in a resolute effort to eliminate child labour, CRI has established partnerships
with eight (8) organisations, collectively working across one thousand two hundred and fifty
(1,250) cocoa-growing communities. These collaborations equip children with essential
technical skills and education, protecting them from engaging in hazardous activities.
CRI's School Mobility Project (SMP) has also provided thirteen (13) modified tricycles in
five (5) cocoa-growing districts to assist school children in rural communities with their daily
commute to school.
During the handing over of fourteen (14) children in the New Juabeng North District to their
master craftsmen, Mr. Bright Appiah, the Executive Director of Child Rights International,
admonished and underscored the significance of technical education. Describing it as the key
to empowering young people with practical skills and enabling them to pursue careers aligned
with their passions while simultaneously safeguarding them from perilous activities.
Hon. Comfort Asante, the Municipal Chief Executive of New Juabeng North, expressed her
heartfelt gratitude to CRI and its esteemed partners for their invaluable support. She urged
skills tutors to remain steadfastly committed to the educationofchildren, emphasising that such
dedication is a collective endeavour, requiring the unwavering commitment of all parties
involved.
Child Rights International remains committed and dedicated to improving the lives and well-
being of children, particularly in cocoa-growing communities across Ghana. Through its
diverse programmes and initiatives aimed at eradicating child labour, CRI strives to ensure a
brighter and more promising future for the children in these communities.
