United Planet recently welcomed a group of Taiwanese students who traveled to Boston with the purpose of promoting an understanding of their country while working with local schools on joint youth projects.
“It was great to both share, and see how young people can interact across cultures and make a difference in the world,” said Theresa Higgs, vice-president of global operations at United Planet.

“It was a great mutual learning experience and a pleasure to meet motivated counterparts from across the globe,” said the Executive Director of United Planet, Dave Santulli, of the exchange.
