New Canaan Teen Completes Eagle Project at Daycare He Once Attended as a Child

By Valentina Fuentes Jimenez | 4 hours ago

The Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Karp Associates.

William Ntiri had always imagined doing his Eagle Scout project in Ghana, where his family is from, as a way of giving back to the community that shaped who he is. When the logistics made that impossible, he looked closer to home and found the perfect fit: a place he has called home since he was five years old.
