Last month, TeachUNICEF and UNICEF kicked off a pilot program named Connecting Classrooms in two NYC high schools, the High School for Global Citizenship (in collaboration with Global Kids) Brooklyn, and Harry S Truman High School in the Bronx.

Connecting Classrooms is an educational program which links classrooms around the world. It enables students in developing and industrialized countries to collaborate around topics of shared concern such as health and climate change.

My name is Jessica Dolan and I’m from the U.S. Fund for UNICEF’s Chicago office. I’m writing this entry Monday evening and we’ve had an eye-opening first day in Panama City.

In the wealthiest parts of the city, newly constructed glass towers and beautifully restored colonial homes dominate.
