Take Action: Kids, Teachers and Parents 

Demand to know more... demand change
Several September 11th Family Members insisted that the US Government conduct an investigation into the events of 9/11 which resulted in the 9/11 Commission Report.
(http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/index.htm)

The conclusion of this report included a list of items that needed to be changed. One of the suggested outcomes of the 9/11 Commission is that we need more effective education of our children regarding our global society. Below are a number of links where you can interact with a fellow global citizen and build bridges of understanding together.

• Reach out Globally
  Use the United States Department of Education’s Teacher’s Guide to International Collaboration on the Internet. Learn how to “reach out” globally through a variety of resources, projects, links, and lesson plans for K-12.
