I’ve written several posts about the interaction between a group of children at a rural school in India and a group of private school students in Australia. They shared their reflections in a post too.
It’s the end of the school year in Australia and I just received this thank you note from a girl who I didn’t actually teach… or so I thought.
Dear Morah (Teacher)
Thank you for introducing me to the Indian children. I know I didn’t actually have you as a teacher, but thank you for what you did for me. I appreciate it.
Sincerely
Talia
This kind of learning is really powerful, it seems…
What Ed Said 
Wow, those kind of notes and experiences really show that learning is not what we sometimes think it is 🙂
Have a nice, well-deserved holiday!

This is indeed a powerful mode of teaching. I’m sure the Indian students too have a fair share of gratitude for enabling such interactions. I would personally like to thank you for involving me and giving me a chance to chip in with my little contribution.
