Dear Jafar, Rahilla, and All,
Hello and great to hear from you! Did you get to the chat yesterday, and how did it go? Or did you mean the chat this coming Wed...I hope you can attend!
Jafar, please also meet Rahilla Zafar, who posted the request below at the other forum I moderate, Holistic Helping. You may have already "met" her in the Teachers Talking chat on Saturday. If not, hope you and other members in Nigeria will consider contacting Rahilla as per her request, if you have experiences or insights you can share. She is at rahilla@....
She writes: "I'm working on a report evaluating international aid in Nigeria. If any of you have experience working there and any insights to offer, please let me know. I appreciate your help."
Please let us know how you are and what you're doing these days, and in the meantime and always, artistic affections and very best wishes, Janet

Serina Kalande leads a chat to investigate: What are the factors to weigh
when ‘Blogging Positively’, especially working with HIV/AIDS? Come to our
chat room on Wednesday, December 3rd, at New York 7:00, London 12:00,
Johannesburg, Helsinki 14:00, Nairobi, Moscow 15:00, New Delhi 17:30, Hong
Kong 20:00 and meet with representatives of REPACTED (Kenya), AIDS Rights
(Democratic Republic of Congo), FrontAIDS and Drop-in center (Russia), and
Kwa Mashu Community Advancement Project (South Africa). Then continue at
ActALIVE’s discussion group lead by Janet Feldman of Episode 1,
Sisterhood!
Also, I look forward to writing about the Minciu Sodas $100 projects which
I'd like to sponsor. Each project should have at least two people working
on it, typically, one person "on-the-ground" and another helping online.
(I think of Graham Knight and Wendi Loshe Bernadette, for example.) Each
person should write about a question they are investigating, and an
endeavor they would like to achieve. We have many pairs of people.
Suggest yourself or others and I hope to write soon.
Peace,
Andrius Kulikauskas
