Transforming educational and cultural exchanges

What is their future?

The older girl captured my heart. These girls are sisters, and their mother is a charwoman, or cleaning lady, for Osh State University. This young girl took great pride in cleaning out dust bins, or trash cans. And she is such an imp.....she was so proud of her work. I about lost it, but I always do with children. I would take her home if I could. If they called me today and said she was all of a sudden orphaned I would go back to Osh and get her. But that is such a dream, yes? And what are her dreams? In this part of a difficult world. Look at that face of hers.....what are her dreams?

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.
