- Russ: Welcome to Global Visits. I've not signed on for the study group as I'm not sure what I could contribute. As you may know Betty is in Kyrghzstan right now. I am in exile in Bloomington, Illinois. When I get back to South Bend in early May I may get back to you, I've been getting very mixed signals on what is going on in the Kyrgyz Republic. More later. Good to see you. George Carter

A 'Wired' Mission
Go anywhere in the world, and we are 'wired' together by advancing technology. But we have yet to figure out how to 'wire' peace. Our mission is to use this technology to leap over vast cultural and geographical divides, linking students and teachers together, to talk with each other, laugh together, collaborate in a project, share pictures of our families, our favorite songs.....to be friends.
For several years, Global Visits was a pioneer using modern communications technology to linking people together from diverse cultures. We called our efforts 'non traditional' student exchanges.
Now, we join the world of 'social networking' with a serious purpose: peace and understanding.
