We were able to meet up with Brian Dick from the U.S. Embassy; we have been working together throughout the year in making it possible for AJLA's 6th grade class to collaborate with a Belgian school in the small town of Couvin; this also celebrates the significance of the 100th year anniversary of Couvin having been liberated by American troops (from Bronzeville!).  

Brian lent us his historic knowledge while showing us around the historic Flemish town of Leuven, just another example of a town in Belgium that was completely destroyed by WWI.
