Each year, working with Mooseheart, the famed “Child City and School,” in Illinois, the Orphan Train Project sponsors one or more “Glenn Koepp Scholars,” who are brought to the States for multiple days of training at Mooseheart, followed by several days in Wisconsin. To date, these scholars have come from Bulgaria, Romania, Peru, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Granada, India, Tanzania, South Africa, Uganda and India. In Wisconsin, the visitors are shown other models of childcare and given opportunities to present their orphanage to various audiences. Approximately forty people have attended classes at Mooseheart, and more than double that number have participated in three-day seminars held in overseas locations. To date, these overseas educational opportunities have been held in Tanzania, Bulgaria and Romania.

 

Many conductor groups have traveled abroad to visit “heir” orphanages and to volunteer on site.
