              Whether I am teaching or traveling, I am building connections. I hope that we can all learn more about each other as people, as citizens of different countries but also as part of one world that inspires all of us to join together. I hope you will choose to get involved and go deeper to learn more about our world. Here are a few places to get started, projects to participate in and books to read to children.

Supporters are encouraged on the www.girlup.org website to give a “High Five” by donating five dollars or more to programs that will provide girls in developing nations with access to basic needs like health services, school supplies, clean water, and more.
