Jordan Sept 2006. Trained teachers from Al Harsh, Al Zahra, Ein Karem and Um Qura schools about Kidlink. They learned about the Who-Am-I? Program, Kidlink's Life Skills Training and Sample Connections to Jordan's curriculum. Teachers registered in Kidlink by answering the 4 questions, read through the Who-Am-I? lessons and checked on Kidlink's Sample Connections to Jordan's curriculum to get ideas on how to link the lessons to their own curriculum. They all were looking forward to use the program with their students, register them and send us their drawings and works.

Sept 12 - Al Harsh Women Society, in Al Harsh village. Al Harsh, Bedouins land, is 20 km northeast from Al Mafraq, near the border with Syria, 100 km north from Amman. Organization serves women, small children and older children after school. Looking forward to receive their works.

Sept 13 - Some teachers and students from Al Zahra School in Amman. It is a beautiful school, with wonderful teachers and beautiful kids. They offered us delicious food from Jordan for the break, yummy! :-)

Sept 14 - Ein Karem School - Teachers and students are mostly Palestinian. It was wonderful to see the way these teachers absorbed the meaning of the 4 questions in this school. They wrote excellent, heart warming answers about their wish for the world to be better and how they can use their talent and position as teachers to guide their students into making a better world. My heart warms when I remember their sweet faces. :-)

Sept 15 - Um Qura School teachers. In photo at right, Measer, headmistress of the school. Wonderful, very smart, ladies. It was a pleasure to meet them. Thanks to Fathma, and Abi for their hospitality.
