No Impact Week

I know, I know. It's been a loooonnnggg time since my last post and I have a TON to write about! Namely: my trip to Venezuela, traveling with my brother in Korea and the Phillipines, thoughts I have on this mind-blowing book I'm reading as well as an amazing visitor we've been preparing for at KIS: Jackson Kaguri, author of "Price of Stones" is visiting KIS (today!) to speak about his efforts to provide education and hope to AIDS orphans in Uganda.

So, I promise more on all that very soon (and I do have stories to tell!). BUT, this week is also "No Impact Week" at KIS in honor of Earth Day this Friday. What started out as a small initiative with my students has spread pretty thoroughly throughout the school. Students and staff alike are making plans to cut back this week and writing or video blogging about their experiences. You can see mine and others on the wiki I made:

Lots more to come soon! Less than two months left in Korea!
