My Op-Ed: Building a Better World Through Travel Abroad, Baltimore Sun, 1/23/18

Today I published an op-ed in the Baltimore Sun about my recent trip to southern Africa including Zambia, Namibia, and South Africa.  We spent much of our time with our son who is serving in the Peace Corps in Namibia.  We also visited Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years.  The piece is a bit travel log, a bit commentary.

The editor headed the piece with a Los Angeles Times interview about Mandela.  If you are an educator, this might be worth sharing with your students.
