The C. G. I. University Visited Coral GablesThis Week

This is the basketball gym that was filled with students from all over the world, and the rest of us sat in the bleachers around the floor.


We were an hour early and we watched the students coming in to the building. We talked to many of the students. All but one was at ease with English. I felt bad that I am only at ease with English.
The C. G. I. University (Clinton Global Initiative University) is President Bill Clinton at his best. Read about the university, it will make you feel good what young people from the entire world are doing now.

It Can't Get More Red Then This
