We've redrawn the proposal and are excited about what this could mean for the region and beyond. We will be talking to a large company who want to invest in education, particularly vocational education in rural communities. We sense that this could be huge so think for us, pray for us and we'll keep you posted.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3845718558479652123-2064215142371328635?l=aprendercouk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phil Hawkinshttps://profiles.google.com/105773283046505298931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845718558479652123.post-91119036264921283452009-08-05T07:15:00.000-07:002009-08-05T07:19:16.400-07:00What an adventure!? Education conferences, lots of meetings, open doors, new food experiences, new people, old friends and making a difference. We've made some major strategic decisions and need to work these through. We have an important meeting with the goverment in Brasilia next week which is key. The adventure continues!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3845718558479652123-9111903626492128345?l=aprendercouk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phil Hawkinshttps://profiles.google.com/105773283046505298931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845718558479652123.post-58333619567776122052009-07-23T09:53:00.001-07:002009-07-23T09:53:45.081-07:00I'm about to fly to Brazil to carry on education development in their state school system. What a challenge! Channelling resources and expertise within such need is a daunting task - but, why not me and why not now? I've been struck by how often we can desire a reason to join in, a 'word' from someone, permission from the boss. If I don't get involved who will? I feel like that proverbial drop in the ocean but I think other drops just may join in and, who knows, we may have a trickle, a stream, maybe one day an ocean current affecting educational ecosystems around the globe.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3845718558479652123-5833361956777612205?l=aprendercouk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phil Hawkinshttps://profiles.google.com/105773283046505298931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3845718558479652123.post-57190807911931068252009-04-21T13:43:00.000-07:002009-04-21T13:45:35.692-07:00ok. we're off to brazil at the end of july. thinking I would like some more teachers to come with me.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3845718558479652123-5719080791193106825?l=aprendercouk.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Phil Hawkinshttps://profiles.google.com/105773283046505298931noreply@blogger.com0
