Question

Dear Sir / Madam,

We are a group of English teachers from the Czech Republic who have just started a voluntary organization.
We are looking for some financial sources (grants) for our Mexican project. We have lately visited many small indigenous villages in different federal states of Mexico, looking for test communities for our pilot project in September this year. Our project is about teaching English in tourist districts in small indigenous villages. Our project is especially for villages, where some ecotouristic projects have been already started and for villages in touristic districts, where good English knowledge can bring the people a job opportunity and community development.

We dispose of a very effective and tested teaching method. There is a great interest from many Mexican communities and also from Czech and European volunteers. We would appreciate any help or information. We look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Helen Vodrazkova

Grundvig partners

Dear Petru,
thank you for forwarding to us all these mails from colleagues so far.
Could you please forward our message too?
We are a primary school in Thessaloniki, Greece and after having completed a
successful Comenius Project with our pupils we want to make the same thing with their parents. (2 years Grundvig Project)
We want to work with pupils' parents so we should have a better school performance from kids. We have already
worked on some activities but we desperately would like schools with experience in integrating parents in
school process to communicate with us and hopefully be our partners or even coordinators if they would like.
For more informations please contact me in : nikomakris@yahoo.gr or nikomakris@hotmail.com
Wish you all a wonderful summer holiday!
