Establishing Professional Contacts and Expanding Resources

I am sad to say that as of this moment I have not yet received any emails back from people that I have contacted.  I assume that I will receive replies soon.  I started to do the alternative assignment but I must admit I would prefer to communicate with a live person.  In fact I will not give up until somebody contacts me back.  Anyway with the alternative assignment I listened to the podcasts of Ms. Susan Lyon and Barnabus Otaala.  I found Ms. Lyons website about the Innovative Teacher Project which she is the founder.  I joined her website contact list and I am waiting for a newsletter or other information which they may share.

I was not able to contact Mr. Baranabus Otaala but listening to his podcast I an interested in his project because he wants to help the children of his region that is affected with HIV/AIDS.

While visiting the World Forum Foundation website I did  try to join their discussion group but that feature is coming soon.  So I will be checking to see when the first discussion has posted.  Also, I have been a member of the Children's Defense Fund since I enrolled in the Child Development class.  That is where I was introduced to this organization.  

I hope that I can alter my blog in a few days to share with my fellow classmates the people that I am establishing a professional relationship with.
