Leaving Tomorrow

Jan. 26, 2012
Finally started packing and it's tough to fit it all into one suitcase.  I feel excited, grateful, nervous, happy, and scared all at once.  I've always wanted to see the world and now I have the chance to see one beautiful part of it.  India. 

My wonderful contact there, Sans, is allowing me to spend three weeks with her and many teachers, students, and colleagues in Ballia, India.  I will be posting as often as possible to share experiences and hopefully start an exchange with my family and friends.  Special thanks to the students at Manor school who worked so hard to create some special gifts for the school I'm visiting.  Your enthusiasm and creativity are so appreciated.

I am looking forward to exchanging ideas, sharing my passion for learning, and getting to know more about education in India.  Until next time....
