I just put up a post on Facebook and within twenty minutes I had tons of comments. How come those of you who stop by here aren’t offering your comments?
Here’s the gist of the Facebook post…I’d love to have more thoughts. I’m focusing in on how Let’s Get Global can make that international Gap Year (or six months or even three weeks!) available to kids who can’t afford it. It’s always been done by the rich….I want it to happen for the middle class and the poor as well. And I very much want to collect ideas from all you people out there. Please give it some thought and send me your comments….here, for everyone to see and to my e-mail address as well…femalenomad@ritagoldengelman.com
And you might want to see some of the comments on my Facebook page, Rita Golden Gelman. Thanks. Love, Rita
What a wonderful project. I had to wait until I was in my mid-twenties to go traveling. Back in the early 70s a gal traveling alone was not a common site. I treasure my memories of all the folks I met and stayed with, the rides I shared and the places I had explored. I was constantly amazed at the generosity and trust that folks outside of the U.S. extended toward me. It changed my life. If I had the opportunity to travel before I went to college I think I wouldn’t have dropped out in my fourth year!
Target those twitters, blogs, books, fliers, etc to highschool counselors and principles through whatever newsletters or teachers aides or groups there be. That’s my suggestion.
I was interested in seeing the comments generated on Facebook, but when I search your name I only get webpages. You may have to change your settings to allow your profile to come up in a search.
