Grand prize in the GlobalVirtual Classroom Competition - Give something back international

Dear Friends around the world,

I am excited and happy to announce that the kids from Ein Ganim Globaldreamers are first prize winners in the Global Virtual Classroom this year and we are very excited. The school will recieve a $1000 for our work but the most important thing is the satisfaction the three educators Janet from Julian, Yasue from Ohsawa school are feeling! It is awesome. 55 schools from around the world took part in our space project and the link will show the excellent work which was obtained from all the school but above all this work shows the fantastic global collaboration of everyone involved and the lasting friendships that will always remain in our hearts.

Please share this link with everyone and you will have the opportunity to learn much about the three cultures, USA, Japan and Israel!! My warmest congratulations and gratitude to Janet and Yasue who were both amazing!!

I also wanted to tell everyone a huge thanks for the fantastic materials we have been receiving from educators and kids around the world for our Holocaust unit. This is a yearly unit so we invite everyone to contribute materials and we will gladly add them. We at Ein Ganim also did our part and I am sharing some links with you including movies that I took during the ceremony.

Holocaust Remembrance begins this evening.

Dear Friends,

I wanted to remind you all that the national Holocuast Remembrance Day in Israel begins this evening in Israel. There will be siren tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning to remember those who were cruelly murdered in the Holocaust. We the members of Globaldreamers remember the Holocaust and will never forget the six million who died in vain.

We unite and remember with hopes for a better tomorrow.

I invite you all to use our unit on Globaldreamers with many new materials and adding as I receive them from other educators around the world.Our unit is dedicated to my Mom God rest her soul Sonia Frenkel who was a Holocaust survivor.

This is the new unit for 2008.

Most sincerely,
