I will be in DC late tomorrow night, ready and eager to get back to Let’s Get Global full time. While in Mexico, I’ve written to a lot of you on Facebook and by e-mail, that I would love to talk with or meet you. I’m hoping to get my act together over the next few days. To those of you who have my phone number, do call. I’m excited that so many of you want to help out… there are many of you who have far more experience than I do in education, PR, non-profits. I need you on the team.
And I should mention, I’m very much a team player. I need people to brainstorm with, others to contribute your expertise, and others to do research, and more to tell me about the schools in your community that you think might be good for our pilot group. We need you, your knowledge, your testimonials………..and if any of you are organizers who can keep lists and do some Excel sheets of our volunteers, we need you too.
Join us in a very important mission. And do read Rose’s comments below the previous post. I like what she has to say! You will too.
Thanks, Rita

Hi Rita,
I just got wind of a new travel magazine called AFAR and I’m so excited! It speaks of” having meaningful and memorable experiences ,pursuing passions, as well as connecting with the world. making it smaller, realizing that it’s bigger.
I can see you sharing your journey and dream in this magazine. Who knows whats possible?
PS
I teach in Elizabeth, one of the largest inner city schools in NJ , and would be willing to hand deliver to the superintendent a proposal for your gap year.
Jill, Hi
We had a representative from AFAR at our June meeting. It was before their first magazine was out. I never thought about pitching them an article…but maybe you’re right. I’m putting it on my list. Thanks. And I’m putting you down as a possible school.
I’ll be in touch. Best, Rita
