The South African team shows up on Saturday. We can't wait. All kinds of activities have been planned from children's theater to preschool observations to a tour of the Park City and a weekend that will include a visit to the Amistad. Their three-week stay will allow them to attend some workshops and discuss early childhood practice; compare some American pizza styles; experience life in a New England family; see the Big Apple; and consider the similarities and differences in early care and education in Bridgeport and in The Royal Bafokeng Nation. I can only hope that we are affording them the richness of experience that they provided for us.
