Hi, everyone, With all the AEFL Week activity last week, I didn't get a chance to forward this message to NCL until now. If any of you have suggestions on how to share ideas or resources with this Peace Corps volunteer, please feel free to contact him directly at paulctindall@gmail.com.

My name is Paul Tindall, and I am a Peace Corps volunteer working in the health sector in Malawi. We have a program we run here called SOLID, teaching community members about community assessment, community development, project design and management, and professional skills - along with various sector-specific issues that can be covered in supplemental lesson planning. However, as I'm sure you can imagine, many of us PCVs in Malawi (and no doubt the world) regularly interact with and are asked to teach people who cannot read or write. I am interested in augmenting SOLID, or providing additional resources, so that it can also be taught most effectively to people who are illiterate, or with very little education. I don't know if you can help but if you can provide me with some resources, contacts of who might be able to help, or anything, that would be fantastic. Thanks so much for your help! -- Paul Tindall
