American Institute For Foreign Study has a great educational program called Global Awareness. Global Awareness is designed to promote multi-cultural understanding and appreciation in elementary and middle school classrooms. Au pairs volunteer in classrooms and other community settings, sharing their culture and language.
There was recently a Global Awareness competition where au pairs were encouraged to share ideas for games and activities from their homeland. Prizes were awarded for the best submissions.
We have a winner in our cluster…
Anyone who know Flor will probably not be surprised to hear that she won. She is a wonderful cultural embassador and a lot of fun to be around. Congratulations, Flor!
I asked au pairs in our cluster to share some photos from their summer travels. Please vote for your favorite by clicking HERE. The winning au pair will receive a free ticket to the Maryland Renaissance Festival for our upcoming cluster meeting.
Vote as many times as you would like and share the link to this page with your friends via email, Facebook, Twitter and where ever else you can think of. Voting will end on Thursday, September 23 at 12 noon.
