我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I installed a computer lab at a school in Uganda. Up until that point, the students referenced maps painted on the school walls. The way they reacted to the internet touched me deeply - they really got it that this was a window on the world.
The beauty of Australia. The food and people of Italy. The vibrancy of my hometown, New York.

教，学，和分享

I am a certified teacher of world cultures and can teach English

rules: 1. If something is lost, you will usually find it in the place it belongs or the first place you looked. 2. what you put out to people is what you get back. 3 If electronics dont work, turn it off and on again, or its a cable. 4. Listen to people.

I'd like to tearn more Italian and play music (guitar, singing, drums)
