Celebration in Brazil for
Children's Day, October 12, 2003

Welcome to Global Learn Day

Welcome to Children's Day in Brazil

Welcome to Children's Day in Brazil, a website from our friends in São Paulo.

We are especially fortunate to have exceptional people to showcase in Brazil. We encourage you to join us when we make our "stops" there this year.

The very good news is we will in fact make two "stops" in Brazil this year.

The first one will take place on Brazil's Children's Day, Sunday October 12 at 10 am in São Paulo. This is a three hour event with heavyweight keynoters, speakers and panelists. The entire event will be webcast by Franklin, both for purposes of showcasing the messages of the folks in Brazil, and as a "preview" of what will take place during the 24 hour event Sunday November 16.

We strongly encourage you to join us virtually where you can participate with questions and comments in real time during the event. Information about how to join us virtually can be found here.

I am particularly delighted with the efforts made by the man who has organized this event, Fred Baggio. It is people like Fred who have made Global Learn Day the most exciting event in the whole of the education arena.

Thank you Fred.

Signed, John Hibbs
