A few months ago, an old internet friend of mine Barbara contacted me about an excellent opportunity. Barbara is currently serving her second year as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Guatemala. The Peace Corps has a program that connects volunteers with teachers in the United States. The volunteer and the teacher and students are then able to begin corresponding and exchanging emails, questions, photos, etc. Interested teachers are able to request specific regions of the world their classes are interested in, and even specific Peace Corps Volunteers if they already know someone there. I'm super excited about this as I know almost nothing about Guatemala and I am confident it will be really interesting for my students.
This is the link to the Peace Corps World Wise Schools program.
