There are two videos I want to include right here. We’ve written thousands of words this year to try to share what our lives look like, but a video has the capacity to capture the feel of something. My friend Mark Slagle of 1504 Pictures visited us in March and shot an incredible amount of footage. His creative work resulted in two videos. One shows the spark of life that Living Libraries brings into communities in Arequipa as we train teachers. The other tells the story about our approach to study abroad through HULA, as well as visuals from one of our favorite places in the world, the Colca Valley.
I'm thrilled to be able to share in such a special way what happens in the classrooms and libraries we work in. Teachers have such limited resources and our Living Libraries team has dedicated their careers to walking with teachers through a transformative process of teaching reading comprehension strategies and mentoring along the way.
Up next, stunning landscapes and sharp contrasts, and what we explore at HULA about what it means to be human.
