From: "Adriana Portella" portella@gbl.com.br Hello, people from Hawaii! I am Adriana Portella, principal of an elementary school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I've been a volunteer for Kidlink since 97 and this is a wonderful experience! Patti is a nice teacher and since that time, she's been spending time helping me with her experience on managing web-based educational projects. The first one I had courage to create is DENTE MOLE, in English, it's TOOTH FAIRY! Patti encouraged me and it is a success!!! After the first one, I started to create other projects in Kidcafe-Escola, a forum in Portuguese. This is part of my life now! And to keep kids and teachers in touch is one of my goals now! We can learn a lot together by realizing that this big-big world is really small when we can reach each other! This is the future we celebrate hand in hand by looking and working for better days!!!
Kisses! Adri
Date: Mon, 15 May 2000 16:53:13 -0300 Hello colleagues and friends! Welcome to this wonderful opportunity of teaching through electronic pairing and sharing. It is wonderful for the students to participate in Kidlink projects. This gives them the opportunity of not only acquiring academic learning but also learning skills necessary for survival in the Information Age. The added bonus is developing a sense of belonging by becoming a part of a global community sharing the same goals and aspirations. Patti is a great source of inspiration, a tireless worker! Look forward to working with you through Kidlink projects in the Fall. Good luck in your summer institute.
All the best.
Date: Sun, 21 May 2000 21:20:56 +0200 Dear Hawaii teachers, In Denmark we have had good experiences with Kidlink. Especially projects that link classes together. So far most of the projects have beeen in our own language, but hopefully we will manage some day to have pupils in projects also with Hawaian and other friends worldwide. That would be great. Have a nice course together with Patti
Best wishes Kidlink coordinator, Denmark
Date: Tue, 16 May 2000 21:21:30 GMT Dear Patty and teachers at the ECELL summer school! How nice it would have been staying with you these days in June while planning the summer school session. I must admit that I envy you, Patty! Although there is a long distance between Westman islands, Iceland and Hawaii, I feel that this two countries have so much in common. How wonderful oportunity it is for you Patty, to have the chance to tell our collegues in Hawaii about Kidlink and what Kidlink has to offer for all of us. Please tell them about how nice it was this winter making project together we in Iceland, you in USA and Adriana in Brazil. What a marvellouse time we had together ;-) Please invite them to be a part of our Kidlink-family and I sure hope to see them all on our lists very soon ;-) Aloa... to you all!
With warm hugs from Iceland!

From: "Ali Parsa" parsa@neda.net Dear Friends, Patti Weeg, this mega source of energy and vision, has asked me to send you a message from Tehran, Iran. In compliance, and braving with my raw English, I want to base my message on the role of geography in our lives. Geography keeps us apart and geography can help us to come closer to each other. Geography fascinates us, we read names of far away places in maps like Kashqar, Andaman, Saskatchewan, etc. We wonder about the meaning of the names, the history behind them, the kind of landscape they offer, and the people there. We look at our favorite place on a map and start daydreaming about how to get there, what to expect, where to stay, what words or phrases of the local language to memorize. Geography thus leads us to other areas of culture and human endeavor. It helps us to start understanding, or at times admitting the existence of, other people. I wish all of you a successful gathering, and hope to see you here in Iran someday. It's not as hard and scary that some people have imagined in recent years.
