An Interview With Fred Mednick, Founder, Teachers Without Borders

FS: Have you had any major difficulties or setbacks you've faced along the way? Things you would do differently with your fundraising?
FM: It is important to note that I started this organization 10 years ago with nothing. People rolled their eyes when I talked about connecting the world’s teachers. Our first project took place in May 2001 with Arab friends. After Sept. 11, many thought we were insane. We have faced setback after setback, but we prevail. Creativity and the reliance on our members has been the key.
