I am so so so so happy that many of you are inspired by this documentary and I completely agree that we should help. But, going we will make more of a difference if we go there instead of sending money. So, Anyone in my classes interested in planning a school trip, there will be a meeting after school on Wednesday 11/10 after school in my room. This is only open to my students in grade 10.
Things to bring with you:
- Do some reserach: how much to things cost, websites, other schools who have done this.
- Post any information in this comments section for me, or interested students to look at
- Think of what you want to do there, how we can be effective and actually make a difference there.
- Brainstorm how we can raise money, criteria for coming, etc
- Think of how we can get this trip approved by the school and BPS.
Get your passports ready!!!
PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ANY ONE BEFORE SPEAKING/SHARING THE INFORMATION WITH ME.

Hi, I meant to mention this in class but I forgot..
So my stepsister is on the alumni board for Quest Adventures and she recently asked me if any of my classes would want to travel to another country. I thought that if we want to do this, Quest would be the perfect organization to contact.
Here is the website:

This is AMAZING! So, we can get grant money to go? Or they can help us fundraise? Talk to your sister and I am going to email the woman.
apparently you have to have a visa to go to india ?
If we go through an organization, we should be able to get a travel Visa or a student Visa.
But, good to know!

WOW! I am curious to know what you said…tell me tomorrow and let me know if he replies…
ms gentile I found Avijit on Facebook…I’ll give you the link to his page if you want it.
Send me the link! It’s scary how good you guys are at stalking…this is like private investigation/FBI stuff. I don’t know if I should be scared or impressed??
But, cool. Send the link 🙂
ahahaaaa!!! funny ms.G, thats like what we should do for a living! but anyways… I think your idea to go to India is such a great thing! I mean, it would be much more personal, it’s a great experience, and you don’t have to worry about the “middle men” or fundraisers that usually keep 95% of the money fundraised themselves.

I’m pretty sure Lady Gaga went to the same school the Avijit is going to. Just a little fun fact.
seems like avijit was the only one who was able to come to america..

i found out that target offers so much money every year to a certain number of schools to fund feild trips and what not. that could be an option for us.
