Rock our world

Back in 2003 I initiated Snowblog in Israel, together with some amazing people over there. The project was funded by the Belgian consulate in Jerusalem.

Now 3 years later, the project is still alive (without me though. Living in Belgium these days.)

I was in contact with many other projects throughout the world, but there was one that got my attention: Rock our world. which was introduced to me by Lucas VandePeer, another macaddict.

Through this project, we hope to teach the students around the world the importance of communication and collaboration. In a world that is so turned up-side down, it is our children who are teaching us the importance of friendship.

I introduced one project to the other and now the kids of Snowblog are anticipating for 'Rock our world 4'
Kids around the world are opening their lunch boxes and sharing what they typically eat for their school lunch! This round includes students from: Australia, New Zealand (South Island), New Zealand (North Island), Peru, Belgium, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, China, Israel, and the USA (California, Colorado, North Carolina and Pennsylvania).

The project is going live soon: all these kids will share their lunch boxes live online through internetcamera's to each other and talk about it.
A simple initiative but I am sure it is very effective in learning to appreciate other cultures.

To the Snowblogteam: congrats!

(Oh, on the site it says the video's are posted to Oprah. Gal is this true? Are the kids gonna be on Oprah?? :) )
