March 1, 2008: After a long period of insecurity, almost all checks are in to make airplane reservations next week. I will be taking the first global education service-learning trip to Peru in June, 2008. It was planned by Joaquin Randall's new company in the USA: "World Leadership School." Ross Wehner,CEO of World Leardership school and author of Peru-Moon Hand Books visited Casady, gave a brief chapel speech, and talked to Spanish classes about the trip and his experience as a reporter. We increased the numbers of students attending this trip by two and secured the ones willing to take a chance and create the first global education service learning trip for Casady School.
