My name is Mohammad Hamdaqa I’m working as the IT manager in The School of life – ‎Jordan an international school of Her Highness Princess Areej Ghazi. We are interested to ‎have a video conference with students from Taiwan if you can help us achieving this goal.‎
The School of Life – Jordan is a new international school founded in 2005 in Jordan and ‎managed directly by Her Royal Highness Princess Areej Ghazi. The School of Life – Jordan ‎is an idealist/realist private school, which cultivates reason and develops children’s ‎intellectual abilities. It has two major bodies of interest: ethical interests, based on Islamic ‎sciences, presented in an exciting method that emphasizes active student participation; and ‎knowledge interests, involving empirical data, factual information, speculative ideas, ‎mathematics, sciences, literatures, languages, and social sciences
We prepare every child to meet the challenges of life beyond the classroom. One of our ‎programs in the school is “country of the week” we celebrate a country every week; by ‎contacting embassies here in Jordan, bringing flags and food from different countries, ‎representatives speak if available and trying to find schools from that county and contact ‎them via video conference. Every day in the assembly one of our teachers present a side of ‎the life in that country and at the end of the week we have a big party were our students ‎perform dances and give presentations about what they have learned, dressing that country’s ‎cultural dress and eating their traditional food and so on.‎
This week we are celebrating Taiwan as the country of the week. We will be grateful if you ‎can help us making our students dream come true by meeting people form Taiwan.‎

Also we want to celebrate the Pie (Math symbol) day with students from Taiwan if that ‎possible too so if we can make it two meeting this will be great.‎

‎ ‎
Our students age between 6 and 11.‎
And we are looking to make this video conference as soon as possible. Hopefully at the end ‎of this week.‎
We are using Polycom VSX7000 through IP‎

That’s all ‎
Looking forward to hear from you soon…‎
Sincerely Yours ‎
Mohammad Hamdaqa
