Hi Janet,
I belong to "Be the Change" network and have a wonderful teacher contact in Hong Kong. Her name is Vicky Wong. Please feel free to connect with her on our ning and let her know you are a contact of mine. She and I are one of the original 16 teachers on that network.
Let me know if I can help connect you with anyone else. Byril is from Turkey, Catherine is from Ireland and Sara is from England. I also have a cohort friend in South America, Derrell Fincher, but I'm not sure if he has students this year.
Take care and great luck with your project!

A high school teacher in Tallahassee used ePals to find a partner teacher in Argentina for Skype and also for weekly writing to "pen pals" via ePals SchoolMail, and here's an article recently published about it:
http://www.tallahassee.com/article/20110325/NEWS01/103250325/New-te...
You can search among the 700,000 teachers in the ePals Global Community to find some potential matches. However, to contact any of them, you will need to join the ePals Global Community, which is free to join. http://www.epals.com
You can search by country and with age ranges to narrow down the profiles. Or search in the Teacher Forums where teachers post what kind of partner teachers they are looking for (and post your request there). http://www.epals.com/forums/125.aspx
You can also get SchoolMail free for your students to use, or purchase SchoolMail365 for the most powerful email designed for K12 learners.
If you need help to get started, check out the tutorials: http://bit.ly/learnePals or sign up for one of the free ePals 101 webinars: http://epals.101.sgizmo.com
You might check out an ePals project, The Way We Are, as a starting point for your collaboration with another class. http://www.epals.com/projects/info.aspx?DivID=TheWayWeAre_overview
How wonderful that you are taking the initiative to help your students become global citizens!
Hi Janet,
I'm from Australia if you would like a contact here.
Cheers
Denise
