The beginning...

My senior year in high school, I traveled to the Hashemite Kingdom of Amman, Jordan through a Project Harmony student exchange program funded by the U.S. Department of State and the United Palestinian Appeal in Washington D.C.

The Media Efficiency and Democracy In Action (MEDIA) Program was implemented to encourage communication between American adolescents and Palestinian/Jordanian teenagers. "Overcoming Stereotypes" became one of the main themes of the trip, as everyone involved with the program was challenged to rise above religious and cultural differences.

The blog is still entact and can be viewed by going to http://www.projectharmony.org/ and clicking on "Programs." Go to programs in the country of Jordan, click on the MEDIA program, then click on "Program Web Forums," next click on "Media program Vlog," and go to pgs.33-42.
