About Me or Reason for Joining the GEC:

I'm an educator and author of adventures stories for middle school students. My primary interest is in introducing middle school students to the world at-large. Through the use of a work of fiction,"The Kid Who Beat Wall Street and Saved Africa", readers are introduced to world problems, for example, lack of food clean water and medicine, affecting children in 3rd world countries, Currently there are schools in the USA using the book who are dialoguing with each other. They have informed me that they would love to dialogue with their counterparts on
other continents. I would love to be the facilitator.
