Last week I received a call from Suzanne Fletcher of the Freedom Calls Foundation - a 501C3 that sole purpose is to connect deployed soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan with their families through video conferencing. The foundation has three video conferencing units in Iraq & Afghanistan for soldiers to use free of charge to connect to family members. Today I connected Sylvia & her two sons with her husband in Iraq - their eldest son is going off to college and Dad wanted to give him some advice. This was Sylvia's second VC with her husband - she told me it went much more smoothly since she understood the technology better - she said the hour just flew by! As she hugged me goodbye and thanked me - it brought tears to my eyes. Please let me know if you are interested in having your students vc with soldiers in Iraq - this can easily be set up through the Freedom Calls Foundation.
