Glimpses into Kyrgyzstan
February 12, 2015
As part of the students’ study of world geography, the class was honored to have Dr. Ron Walcher as a guest speaker today. Dr. Ron has made nine trips to Kyrgyzstan since 1995 providing medical services in remote villages. The students are currently studying The Caucasus and Central Asia, both examining the countries there and the impact of this region on world events. Dr. Ron shared his personal stories and illustrated his words with many photographs from his travels as well as cultural items from his travels. The students enjoyed this visit and were impressed with both his personal knowledge and Dr. Ron’s example of helping others.
