To do surveys, have discussions on all topics, meet with everyone from students to officials, but mainly business and professionals from bakers to bankers and officials. Last go to Petersburg to for plenary meeting and breakout groups to determine howo we can use this information for educating our peoples when the groups return to their homes. Everyone going will make a pledge to educate for six months on return home — everything from home meetings to university students to local officials.<br /><br />Hope to hear from you! All the best and thanks for your photos and explanations, Sharon<br />Koozma J. Tarasoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339083539775964934noreply@blogger.com
