Love your project and great to have a connection to my beloved city of Chicago, although I also grew up in Oak Park where my parents reside. I Traveled to Geneva with Depaul some years back for a UN project, met a girl from Vienna, stayed on in Geneva to work on an Indigineous peoples project. Decided to visit the girl and volunteer for IFOR Austria, they offered to pay my living expenses. They liked my energy and asked me to stay on and develop my own Global Education program utilizing technology and the rest as they say is history. I love it here and I have the chance to meet and work with incredible students and teachers.
