Building a Bridge to World Understanding

What is the "Bridge to World Understanding"?  The Bridge is a project that could bridge the gap between high school students around the world, and bring them together in an opportunity to communicate openly through letters and build friendships!

I hope the idea will appeal to you and you will read the about the genesis of this idea -- and how you can be a part of it!

Oscar Lee (aka Oz) from Singapore Rotaract and I have been trading e-mails about some wonderful service project ideas that came together and snowballed at the club's last meeting, and afterwards. Below is our e-mail conversation aimed at seeing if his club can work with ours on some of this.

The idea is to help our local High School get hooked up with High Schools in other countries and arranging for students to exchange letters with them. It would be an international service project that would be VERY meaningful to the kids, but would entail little upkeep on our part.

We felt the first step was seeing if clubs in other countries were interested in working with us and help find high schools on their end etc. ... Do any of you know if your club, or another club in your district would be interested in working with us on this project?

We are trying to gauge the feasibility of doing this before we get too far into it, so please respond with a "sounds good" or "not likely to work here" if you could before our next meeting on Tuesday July 20. Ideally, if we do this, we would like to be able to go to the high school and
