First Prize for the International Peace Day competition

Meet Your Global Neighbor

In honor of the International Day of Peace which is celebrated on Sept 21, Au Pair in America au pairs submitted their visions of peace.  Heike Krizun, a community counselor in MA encouraged her au pairs to work together to create  one entry.  Here is a quilt of many colors from many nations.  This is cultural exchange in action; the au pairs are learning about each other and from each other-the first step towards peace in another generation.  Check this out: http://www.globalawareness.com/

September Clustermeeting

We had an amazing meeting today at my house with many new aupairs who arrived over the summer and needed to get to know each other.

We had to say good bye to Linda from Germany who will return home in October and who shared her great time here as aupair for one year with us.

In addition we worked on an art project for the International Peace Day which will be on Sept 21. Everybody was pretty busy with the project, chatting, eating and  enjoying our sunny New England weather outdoors.
