Global Impact Daily!

I am often reminded of what a global world we live in. Our suburban elementary school has more than 30 countries represented, many are even first generation Americans. We hosted an exchange student from Madrid this summer and had the benefit of learning from her.

A colleague of mine now lives in Beijing, China and is encouraging us to visit. And now our niece is off to Namibia, Africa for a semester abroad. I, too, studied in London for a semester.

I love learning from those who are having those experiences now... all made possible through technology-- our niece will blog http://caitlins-abroad.blogspot.com/, we'll stay connected to our student via Facebook, and I'll continue to learn from the various people all over the world who I follow on Twitter!
