An amazing first week.


Our first week in Brazil has been amazing. On Wednesday we visited the Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF) in Niteroi. Our team had the opportunity to visit the University's medical school, education department and communication department. We talked with the Dean of the Education Department about how UFF is preparing Niteroi's next generation of educators and the challenges that are facing Brazil as it strives to provide quality education to it's citizens. Afterwards we visited a middle school that is located on the campus. This school allows the university students to take the teaching strategies they've learned in their courses and apply them consistently with "real" students.
