Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

The steps I took to locate and contact two professionals were a bit unconventional, but more personal. Friends of mine live in Bologna, Italy and Heppenheim, Germany. Both of them have preschool sons. So, I contacted them and asked them to contact their children's schools to see if any of them would be interested in participating in this exercise with me. To date, the teacher who is interested in corresponding with me does speak English and I am just waiting to hear from her. The school in Italy does not seem to have any teachers who are proficient in English enough to feel comfortable corresponding with me. So, I am back to square one with that one.
I am interested in finding out more about UNICEF and the Harlem Children's Zone. The website for the Harlem Children's Zone was unavailable when I attempted to access it.

    Hello Deb,

    to bad we are not from different counties, we have been reading each others blogs and assignments for a while now. That was a great ideal reaching out that way. I wonder if goggle translate will help with the teachers from Italy? Worth a try. Like your choice of websites. Good Luck.
