Our World Focus has currently been working with a new sister classroom project this fall - Conor Baranski's Cultural Anthropology classes from North Idaho's Sandpoint High School are partnered with Amy Jacob's Creativity Action Services classes from the La Paz Community School in Guanacaste, Cost Rica!

Another wonderful day trip I took with some students from the OWF LPOAHS/Bergama English 2 sister class. This time I was escorted to Dikili, a small town on the Aegean Coast! We sipped tea and Turkish coffee in a seaside restaurant, walked along the shore and hiked to Ataturk Botanik Bahcesi, a garden high on a hilltop overlooking the town. It was a great day! Thank you, Ezgi, Makbule, Selcan, Nermin and Bekir!

Here are some photos from a hiking adventure I took with a few of the students from the OWF SHS/Bergama English 1 sister classrooms in Bergama, Turkey. We hiked up from town to the Acropolis, which is about 5km. It's a fascinating archaeological site, that dates back to the 3rd century BC. Thanks Samet, Aybars, Gamze, and Kubra, for such a fun day!
