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.

I agree about Zimbabwe. I lived in southern Africa for 11 years, and traveled to Zimbabwe. Used to be a beautiful country. Mugabe has ruined it, and it is likely never to be restored. The infrastruture top to bottom is destroyed. And regretably, other African leaders have allowed him time to get away with this. Only Mandela seems to be willing to take him on, and he is 90 and unable to do much more than speak out. Such a shame. I miss Africa.
