Valerie Anderson ‘81 has been the principal of an international school that serves the expat Christian community in Istanbul, Turkey for the past 8 years. She has been involved in MK education for a total of 24 years, serving as an elementary teacher and/or princi- pal at Santiago Christian School in the Dominican Republic, Rosslyn Academy in Kenya, and Dakar Academy in Senegal prior to com- ing to Turkey. At last count she’s visited 46 countries and 45 US states so am keeping up her heritage as an MK by being a Third- Culture Adult; “but, like Abraham, I'm just a pilgrim on this earth, looking forward to my heavenly homeland!” val.f.anderson@gmail.com
