Alliance formed between GSBI, GVC and SSCA
Sarasota Sister Cities Association has formed an alliance with Give Something Back International Foundation and the Global Virtual Classroom. Andrew Ezzell, president of GSBI, wrote an article for
the Sarasota Sister Cities Newsletter. The page excerpt can be read here.
The mission of Sarasota Sister Cities Assn. Inc. (SSCA) is to foster international relationships between Sarasota and cities that have similar interests by creating exchanges in areas of culture, education, tourism, business and government. SSCA's objective is to develop respect, understanding and cooperation through citizen diplomacy. To accomplish this mission we develop relationships with people in cities that have cultural, education, tourism and business environments similar to Sarasota's. Working outside the realm of government, but with its support, we encourage and facilitate cultural and education exchanges, business opportunities and increased tourism. [quote from SSCA website]

Give Something Back International - Haiti program
Message from GSBI president and founder, Andrew Ezzell:
I wanted to let you know about a program we are sponsoring for the benefit of the children of Haiti that were devastated by the earthquake one year ago this month. The Give Something Back International Foundations, the sponsor of the GVC program, has decided to sponsor the education of 100 poor K-12 grade children from Haiti as well as build a 6 classroom school in a poor rural area during 2011.
If you are looking for a community service project or if you know of anyone that would be interested in volunteering to assist us in the building of this school, please direct them to the following link on our website: www.gsbi.org/haiti-project.html. If you or any of your colleagues are looking for an opportunity to assist by making a donation or helping with the fund raising events, we and the children of Haiti would be most grateful and appreciative. We guarantee that 100% of the funds raised will go to benefit the children of Haiti.
Needless to say, this effort on our part is unrelated to the Global Virtual Classroom program and is not a requirement of participation in the GVC program.
