We chatted with students about the National Dish of Barbados which is Flying Fish and Coucou.

'Coucou and flying is a recipe made with corn meal, okra, flying fish and topped with an aromatic sauce of tomato, onion, chives, thyme, fresh pepper, garlic and other herbs.  The fish can be steamed, battered & fried or grilled.  Coucou is also known as Fungi in other Caribbean islands such as Dominica, Antigua and the Virgin Islands.  The Italians prepare a similar version of coucou called pollenate.  The recipe for coucou was passed down from African slaves who came to the island in 1644.  The recipe requires consistent stirring of the coucou until it reaches a smooth, even distribution of ingredients and a firmness to be eaten with a fork.  Bajans have invented a tool just for this purpose called a “coucou stick.”

+Rhoda Green  of  Barbados Carolinas gave a history of the connection between Barbados and Carolinas. The British families who settled in Barbados during  slavery times and built plantations to produce sugar. The first born of the second generation stayed in Barbados to run the plantations. The second and third born moved to the Carolinas and settled there.

+Rhoda Green  also cautioned the students not to wear camouflage clothes to Barbados. The military soldiers wear camouflage as their uniform, to prevent confusion she warned the students about wearing those fashions.

+Desiree Lowe  lives in Georgetown, Barbados shared with the students that the island is a small tropical paradise that  is very laid back.

+Rosalind Cummings-Yeates mentioned that Rihanna, a famous singer is from Barbados which would of great interest to the students. She also told the students that Barbados has a British influence and the people are reserved there.

+Adedana Ashebir  stated the students are going to a whole new world, the air will smell different, the food will taste different and the music will be different.

What is it like to travel on a plane?

PC is a Detroit student who will be flying to Barbados in 2014. She has some fears and concerns as a first-time traveler. She asks, "What is it like to travel on a plane?"

View of wing from an airplane window

The best way for me to describe flying on a plane as the take off of an airplane is like going up in a roller coaster. The mid-flight sensation is similar to floating in water when the ride is smooth. If there is turbulence, the airplane feels like a train bumping on the tracks. The landing feels like a roller coaster going down the track.

I created this playlist of videos to help answer her question.

Please donate to Abroad For A Cause  to support the students from +atlantic impact  who are traveling to Barbados this summer. +atlantic impact works with Detroit students who have never traveled outside of the city of Detroit. +atlantic impact's mission: "Atlantic Impact increases opportunity in persistently low-achieving schools by using history, community engagement, and international travel.

Please Help!

I learned about Atlantic Impact at the Women In Travel Summit held in Chicago during St. Patrick's Day Weekend.  I was impressed about the mission of taking students from Detroit out of the violence an poverty to experience international travel.

Atlantic Impact's Mission Statement:

"Atlantic Impact increases opportunity in persistently low-achieving schools by using history, community engagement, and global exchange. Through experiential learning and student-led opportunities, youth develop college-ready skills that empower them to become the next generation of urban innovators."

Atlantic Impact is a federally recognized 501c3 nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible.

Atlantic Impact has been featured on Broadcast coverage (FOX, NBC, CBS, myTV affiliate stations), Print coverage (Detroit News, BLAC Magazine), Online coverage (State of Michigan, Detroit Public Schools, Black Celebrity Giving), National advertisement campaign (Jeep, USA Basketball).

The City Detroit has recently been in the news for filing bankruptcy. The financial crisis has greatly impacted the educational opportunities for Detroit's students. I applaud Atlantic for partnering with Detroit students over a three year initiative beginning in 10th grade.

Atlantic Impact's beliefs:

1) Our historically based experiential learning program for youth is aimed at increasing opportunities in their lives on several levels.

2) When youth become more invested in the places where they live, their lives and communities are transformed. This is at the heart of our work.

3) The combination of local and global engagement helps youth spark innovation in our nation's most struggling communities.

Islands in the Caribbean

As a Chicago Southside resident, I experience the crisis of urban youth through the gang violence and deaths. I  hear the gunshots and watch the funeral processions. I view Atlantic Impact as a vehicle of change. The educational opportunities are critical to changing all of our futures. Atlantic Impact's mission benefits society as a whole.

Cockpit View

My personal travel experiences as expat abroad with my family included birthing, raising, living and travel to France, Belgium, Venezuela, Argentina and Turkey. We were blessed to raise our children with a global viewpoint. I am advocate for global education. At one time I created a French and Spanish language camp for children which developed a global mindset for youth. I also taught an after school language program in private and public schools. I know firsthand the opportunities that are open to youth when they receive a cultural global education.

Please join this fundraiser as a team member or a make a donation of minimum $10 to $20. As a contributing member of this blogger challenge, you will give a Detroit student the opportunity to experience a life beyond violence and come back to change their community. You will also help me to connect and guide a group of Detroit students through their first international trip to Barbados in 2014.

Warmest Regards,

Janice Temple
