Premla and David O'Connor own and manage Global Vision USA. As 11 year residents of Jordan, they have traveled extensively throughout the region and know the Middle East school and higher education systems well. In Jordan, they led major development projects with the Noor Al Hussein Foundation and David was also Chair of the American Community School. David managed other programs in China, Nepal and Moldova with the United Nations, the World Bank and the Peace Corps, while Prem started new business ventures that provided employment to local women. Before moving overseas, they managed development initiatives at Save the Children in Westport, Connecticut. Prem is originally from Sikkim, once a small kingdom in the Himalayas between Nepal and Bhutan.

Success Story:
I learned from the local newspapers in Jordan about pursuing my Ph.D. degree through Bridge for Academic Services [Bridge is Global Vision's company in Jordan]. I had gone to the exhibition and was guided on how to study abroad. Now, that I have my PhD degree, I'm teaching in the most prestigious universities in Amman, Jordan. I have been waiting for such an opportunity and I thank Bridge and advise, as a Professor, to seek assistance from Bridge only.
