I am pleased and honored to announce that from November 17th-December
1st, Brenda Bell has graciously agreed to be a guest facilitator on our
listserv. The focus of her time with us will be to discuss her litercy
work in Afghanistan.

Here is some general information about her:
Brenda Bell, formerly Associate Director of the Center for Literacy
Studies, University of Tennessee, and long-time EFF manager, is in
Afghanistan for several months assisting with the Literacy for Community
Empowerment Program, a project of Education Development Center in
partnership with UN Habitat.  This is Brenda's third trip to Afghanistan
in the past ten months.
The LCEP, active in five Afghan provinces, links literacy with
governance and economic development activities in 200 rural villages.
Literacy teachers, for women's and men's classes, are from the villages,
and often have less than a 10th grade education.  They are supported by
training and mentoring provided by facilitators at the district and
national level.
