Minneaplolis: ISLA Visit

Written by
READING TIME: 2 minutes

I arrived in the US on March 31 intending to travel for three months, visiting and re-connecting with friends, attending my 20th reunion at Grinnell College, and giving talks and presentations to inspire, especially the next generation, to follow their dreams and to promote what we do at COMMITTED.

However, within a month of being in the country, a major earthquake struck the country putting me on the added mission of raising awareness about the calamity, networking–with the hope of establishing long-term relationships–and raising funds for our relief work.

For details about my travels in the US and links to other presentations, check out “A Whirlwind Tour.”

Here are some photos from my visit, on May 11, to International Spanish Language Academy in Minneapolis, when I talked to four different classes about the earthquakes in Nepal and the work COMMITTED is doing to help provide relief to the victims. The photos were taken by my friend Jay. (Click here for similar photos posted on my Facebook timeline.)

Since the presentation, the children at the school raised funds for COMMITTED’s work.

On behalf of COMMITTED family, thank you everyone at International Spanish Language Academy, especially Pam for arranging and coordinating the visit as well as the fundraising drive!
