NPCA Global Education Newsletter
Time flies, and it's time again to start thinking about the next Global Education newsletter. Here in the northern hemisphere, teachers are already preparing to head back to school for the fall term. (BTW - it was great to hear after our last e-newsletter from our southern hemisphere friends - now heading into spring!) Please send any resources, websites, book reviews, lessons, etc. that would be of interest and/or useful for our readers. (Remember that World Food Day is in October and we often feature resources for that.) Please send them to our editor, Susan Neyer, at susanneyer@astound.net. She would like to get items by August 17, or at least know by then to expect them. You can download and read any issue of the newsletter from our website here. For our northern hemisphere friends, good luck with back-to-school. For those in the southern hemisphere, we hope your academic year is going well!
Peace, 
Anne Baker Vice President National Peace Corps Association
