Personnel Overview
Lisa Heydlauff - Director
When Lisa taught in the UK, Oliver asked, "What is it like to go to school in India?" Lisa looked for books to answer Oliver's question and found nothing to satisfy Oliver's curiosity or her own, so she promised Oliver that if she ever went to India, she would let him know. Lisa's stories of going to school are for children who want to know more about other children living around the world.
