HI!! you have probably all received the email i sent out to all networks yesterday concerning the need for a better communication and information sharing.

On this matter and as an example, the March newsletter should be posted in this page's documents, and it should be sent out via CLCWA-Sierra Leone group email list so that EVERYONE who is involved gets it.

Each of you can also help by circulating this through your own personal networks.

This is just an example, and so, this also goes for any project-related information or opportunity.

thanks you! keep up the great work!

Does everyone at CLCWA-Sierra Leone know that our great national coordinator, Sylvanus, has attended the GK3 conference in Malaysia??? Great huh?!

Sylvanus should post up his report sometimes soon so that we can all learn from his experience, participation and general outcomes of this conference.... looking foward to it!

hey! i am wondering, as the CLCWA-SL team has implemented a number of activities where young participants are taught and guided to create a profile and join the Takingitglobal community, why are these participants not members of this project... As in, each participant, after getting a membership/profile, should be on the CLCWA-SL project page, present and active..... Just a thought as we want this Web tool to become our main regional and national communication hub...
