Home Schoolers get together in Phnom Penh

Home schooling families get together to share crafts, learning, educational materials, and fun. Who says homeschooling is boring? It is the most enjoyable way of learning any kid (and home schooling parent) can ever experience. :)

Going Beyong Cultural Barriers

Homeschooling is one of the noblest and oldest things a mother/father can give to their children. Now that people from all parts of the world can easily connect with one another, breaking through cultural barriers to maximize learning potentials of our children can do so much for them, and to the world.

I will be starting a Breaking Through Culture Lessons in this blog soon. I hope that it will enhance friendships among children through out the world. I will also appreciate your sharing about this topic. Leave your contributions at the comment box and let us all help break through the barriers of cultural knowledge among nations and be one in bringing that knowledge for the welfare of all the children on our planet, and beyond.
