Jordan it is!: Schools

Schools

I have been unsuccessful in contacting any schools in Cairo but I do plan to stop by a few on our visit. I read an interesting article today via CNN about the education struggles in Egypt that I wanted to share: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/24/world/africa/egypt-broken-schools/index.html?hpt=wo_t2.
We should appreciate what we have in many categories of life...including the field of learning.

About Mr. Z

My name is Zachary Zimmer, usually known as Mr. Z in the classroom and Coach Z on the game field. I am blessed to have the opportunity to teach a great group of seventh grade students at Westfield Middle School (a suburb of Indianapolis). I also coach baseball at the middle school and football at the nearby high school.

I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity by Hilton Hotels and the IIE to travel to the country of Egypt this summer. Unfortunately, 24 hours before departure we received the news that the trip had been canceled due to the revolution and violence that overthrew the Egyptian president. For a while it did not look like another trip would happen, but we received news that our new proposed trip to Jordan has been accepted!

This blog is an opportunity for me to share my experiences and findings along the unique journey we will complete. Petra, the Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, and Ramadan are a few things we will experience while in Jordan. Thanks again for your support in earning this grant and incredible experience.

Jordan it is!
