Kids & Family


In Bambinos Without Borders (the blog), I talk a lot about "being global" and raising our kids to be global. And then it occurred to me that I've never actually talked about what it actually means to be global and to live a global life.So in the debut episode of Bambinos Without Borders (the podcast), I chose to interview Lyla Bashan, one of my close friends and personal heroes. Lyla has so much passion for being a global citizen, she literally wrote the book on it. She inspires ordinary people every day to change the world around them and to pass that love on to their children. I couldn't think of anyone better to explain the concept of being global than Lyla.Lyla Bashan is a foreign service officer and diplomat with the US Agency for International Development (USAID). She is currently serving in Armenia as the Director of USAID’s Sustainable Development Office, covering programs of economic growth, democracy and governance, and health and social reform. Lyla has previously served in Tajikistan and Guatemala in the sectors of Democracy and Governance.She is the author of the book Global: An extraordinary guide for ordinary heroes, a comprehensive guide to understanding international affairs which will help guide you on the path to making a positive change in the world. You can find it on Amazon or RedPress Publishing.
