I have been amazed as I've read the blog posts of those who participated in the learning trip to Haiti last week.
Here is a blog, developed by Roopa Reddy, a colleague at Laurier, that I would highly recommend simply for its excellent content. You will also note that the most recent posts are from Laurier students who engaged with the Centre for Education for Women and Children in Cap-Haitien. I have had an association with this NGO for a number of years but have not spent the quantity of time there as Roopa, Laura, Jerry, and Katie did last week.

"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
