The document discusses the South African Student Exchange program between Walter Payton College Prep in Chicago and schools in Durban, South Africa. It began in 2001 with scouting trips and has expanded to include annual spring and fall exchange trips for students and teachers. The goal of the program is to promote educational and cultural understanding based on the South African philosophy of "Ubuntu", which focuses on collaborative relationships and seeing oneself in relation to others. Students act as ambassadors and fundraise to cover costs, with planning assistance from parents, travel agents, and treasurers.
