World Pulse

What's the PULSE of the world? What's going on outside of your school and community? What has the rest of our generation been up to?

This section features two types of stories: stories of outreach and service and stories of world events or issues as seen through the eyes of our generation. The goal of this section is to bring world issues into focus. Our generation plays a role in the world, and by sharing our experiences we can gain a greater insight into our global community.
