I love that you found a way to really bring out the holiday's spirit of be thankful for what we have, and to share with others who are less fortunate. This is so heart-warming-- I'd love to try something like this with my family! What a wonderful idea!!!

I am american, my husband is brazillian, we had 2 young daughters (4 yo and 1 yo), in different countries and we live overseas from our families.. We understand globalization, its in our blood, our hearts.. We are compassionate people who love to help! I hope this next generation who are used to organic food, hybrid cars and different sources of energy will be able to nurture the Earth and develope the global compassion state of mind, body and heart :) Lovely prints from a lovely company! I'll check their etsy shop, thank you! Global compassion, what a beautiful concept!

What a great post and wonderful giveaway! Our kids have a somewhat similar map that doesn't feature country borders and love it (so no need to include us in the giveaway, as much as I adore Rebecca's map, it'd be nice for another family to benefit). It's a great way to teach the kids that we are all part of one precious planet. They also love having a world globe in the living room and refer to it often as we learn about different peoples and parts of the world. Even our two year old will run to get the globe when he hears us talking about another country. We look for ways to teach our children global compassion every day - like discussing Kony 2012 with the older ones over dinner and asking what we can do to help - and through special opportunities, most recently taking them to hear the Dalai Lama speak in our town. The crowd was so huge, all we could see were his feet and the one world we could understand from his mouth was "naturally." Nonetheless it was a great starting point for more discussions and awareness. Keep up the great work and wonderful discourse! Thank you, Homa! What a great post and wonderful giveaway!
