Thinking Globally, Today

Will worked with Karen and Paul on the last group they organized before Paul passed away.  A few years later, Karen decided to continue working toward Paul's dream of enriching the lives of Americans by introducing them to foreign students and changing the way the world sees Americans, one student at a time.  Karen and Will re-established Thinking Globally by organizing a homestay program for 20 students from Spain in 2005.  They have added groups each year and are bringing in three groups of international students again this summer.  They hope to continue adding programs every year.
