After the big splash in The International Educator, the same story about the Bridge to Bahia project has now been published in the other principal periodical read in all the English-speaking international schools. NewsLinks is published by a company called International Schools Services, which runs the big recruiting fairs where aspiring teachers get hired to teach overseas. Once again, the model partnership between the American Overseas School of Rome and the ICBIE is described, offering inspiration to other schools, in the hope that they, too, will initiate effective grassroots programs for helping communities in the third world.
The ICBIE is attracting more and more attention, thanks to the innovative program that it has developed. But the support network of schools, associations, companies and even governments that keep the ICBIE going is also a remarkable creature, and one that can be reproduced by other deserving NGOs.
