Foothill HS / Herder-Gymnasium GAPP 1992-present

An ongoing documentation of the exchange between students of German in Pleasanton, California, and students of English in Halle an der Saale, Germany. Students from these two communities have been meeting for three weeks a year to work, play, live and learn together since shortly after the reunification of the German republic in 1990. Foothill is one of the very first schools in the United States to initiate an exchange with a school in the former German Democratic Republic.

To represent this country makes me proud: this is a nation that strives to respect and protect both human dignity and our planet while yet thriving economically. No, not everything is perfect here, but it's the effort that counts.
