One World Day

Today was One World Day at School.  It was wonderful.  Lots of national costumes such as Grade 6 Abel, top left from Holland and of course two Australian staff members - Duncan in his Hawthorn gear and Jenny with great earrings from the $2 shop.
Each grade participated in a different activity. Grade 6 researched and debated a group to empower through microfinancing from www.kiva.org.  Grade 12 visited the EU team in Laos and I accompanied the Grade 10 group to GDA (Gender Development Association), who work to support women in rural and remote communities through programs to encourage economic development and prevent domestic violence.
There was also a concert with some very talented students singing and dancing.  A great day at VIS.
