I’ve been volunteering with an amazing non-profit, Reach The World, that connects international travelers to K-12 US classrooms. We write articles and video chat into the class, so the students can gain some of the cultural perspective, personal growth, and new experiences that come with being abroad. Through Reach the World, I have been sharing my travel experiences with 3rd-5th grade students in Brooklyn, NY. The best part? They are available online, for any student or classroom to use in the future.
Read more about my experiences here! I’ll paste links in this post (below) as new articles are posted to the Reach The World website (about two per week).
