The People to People dinner.

People to People International was originally founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 to foster contact, communication, and the exchange of ideas between citizens of the United States and other lands; to improve individual understanding, to bridge international barriers; and to establish a force for friendship to assist mankind in his quest for peace.

The purpose of Delaware Chapter of People to People International is to enhance international understanding and friendship through educational, cultural and humanitarian activities involving the exchange of ideas and experiences directly among people of different countries and diverse cultures.

Today, the Moroccan and Jordanian teachers had the pleasure to have dinner with members of PTPDE. Some Koreans also were there. It was a very enriching meeting as it gave me the chance to know, chat and exchange information with friends of the world, members of the People to People association, and taught me that whatever our country or nationality is, we can share the same interests and worries about the world.
