Thank you for visiting. We welcome you’re suggestion and comments. I’m (John) blogging from Haiti right now. It’s nearly midnight and I’m about to turn in after a very long and wonderfully encouraging first full day of our training. We’re launching our 3-year learning program for 40 key Haitians in our network. They’ll convene three times a year for training in participatory leadership and teaching. They’ll also receive laptops and gain skills in Word, Excel and the internet. We’ve used Google Sites to create a collective website and tonight, using a projector connected to my laptop, we created Google accounts for all participants and showed them how to enter information into the site. It’s very exciting and the energy is fantastic. Photos and videos will follow.

Thank you again for visiting our site and for your interest in our work!
