A unique video conferencing program was offered through the
Passaic Valley High
School in New Jersey. Inspired by a statement from Secretary of
State Colin L. Powell, the purpose of this project is to bring students
from different cultures and backgrounds together to promote global
awareness and understanding. This was accomplished through a combination
of live videoconferencing provided by the Access New Jersey Video Portal
, real time e-mail and online chats with 15 countries around the world
during one 24-hour period. To participate in this conference :

Project Heart to Heart

Verizon joined forces with the United States Army Reserve to host Heart
to Heart videoconferences, connecting local families with their loved
ones serving in Baghdad, Iraq. Members of the 98th Division of
the Alexander Hamilton United States Army Reserve center based in Lodi,
New Jersey participated in a town hall meeting as well as private family
videoconferences with military members stationed in Baghdad.
Through technology provided by the Verizon Access New Jersey program,
these videoconferences are making it possible for military members
stationed in places like Iraq, Egypt and Cuba to communicate in real
time with their families.
Stories appeared in the
Star Ledger, The Times, The Record, Hasbrouck Heights Observer, and the Trentonian newspapers as well
as being featured on News 12, WB, CBS, ABC news.
