Editorial note.For the last months I have been eagerly trying to stick to a rhythm of two posts per week here at FTB. There have been evenings, where ideas just kept flowing, and I would pre-edit something like 5 or 6 posts ready to be published...

Editorial Note.When I started the FTB-project, some people thought I was insane to start a blog about CISV. With the ton of positive feedback I've got so far, apparently it is well received. Good.But the strongest motivator for me going on, are your comments...
