A Columbus teacher has taken her message of peace worldwide.
Linda Hancock, a teacher at Columbus Life Skills North who is an author and prize-winning poet, has spoken to hundreds of thousands of people and world leaders about her global organization entitled Poetry and Praise Productions Inc.
The group was recognized by the State of Ohio and Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman during its tenth anniversary last year.
Through her group, she travels globally to talk about ways to make the world a better place.
She’s met with the President of Cambodia and the vice-president of South Korea. She’s also met with presidents Ronald Reagan, George Bush and George W. Bush.
Her most recent trip was a three-week trip to Africa in January to train teachers to teach. She was sent by the United States Department of Aid for International Development (USAID), and the International Foundation for Education and Self-Help (IFESH).
