The International Educator is distributed worldwide to English language international schools, where it is avidly read by teachers and administrators, thanks to its huge collection of job offerings, plus plenty of gossip about hirings, firings, promotions and awards. The December issue carried an article that I wrote, explaining the work that the American Overseas School of Rome has instigated with its Bridge to Bahia Project, to help the poor kids of Salvador by helping the ICBIE. Amazingly, they put a big color picture of Alagados kids on the front page! (And I don’t even know who took it, seeing as the hundreds of photos by Silvia, Elena, Elisa, Guido, Claire and me all got mixed together, after the long day when Julio and Bigode took us to watch them paint the shacks.)
It’s a great bit of global publicity for the ICBIE, and it will encourage AOSR (and the Pan American School of Bahia) to continue to help us!
