But,I hope to help students around the world create similar videos for the project.

So, back to scrapping and clawing my way through this WordPress site…

I leave for my travels in less than three weeks. Creating this site and just writing this blogpost is getting me so excited to start the trip. I’m really looking forward to the people I’ll meet and schools I will visit. I believe the traveling is going to show me a whole lot of beauty in this world.
