Twinning

I had an idea a couple of years ago, about trying to "twin" a school or town in Eastern Samar, with a school or town in the UK,.......or another part of the world for that matter. In fact, I discussed the idea with the trustees of Equitrade, who were interested in becoming involved. There were several reasons why I didn't follow-up on the original idea, but now I am going to make another effort.

What made me think again?.....This blog post.

Brilliant post on a brilliant blog.

It is okay to have good ideas, but you actually have to make them happen. I should have learned that years ago. I will be begging the directors of Maria Lani to consider this idea, using a school close to their farms or the production plant, and giving the students as much help as we can. Meanwhile, it would be interesting to hear of any schools in the UK that would like to take part. I can be contacted through the email address on my profile.
