Dear collegue, as a Peer Educator and administrator working with YOUTH EMPOWERMENT STRATEGIC SCHEME,a community based organisation whose vision is to reduce HIV/AIDs infections among youths through establishment of Peer education programs that disseminate information on reproductive health and HIV/AIDs to among organized youth groups, i feel Privileged to have attended last years TWB-CANADA seminar. I am excited that it is happening again this year and i'ld like to encourage more Kenyan teachers and commmunity facilitators to take part in this forum, as it builds ones capacity to be a better facilitator either in a classroom setting or even in the open space.

I am quite encouraged to participate again this year and probably facilitate an ICT session as i identified a dire need for the same among my country men and women.

We, Youth Empowerment Strategic Scheme believe in the power of networking and partnering and therefore i call upon interested individuals with creative and noble ideas to enhance our operations to reachout to more youths in the society. Feel free to contact me on tonnxy@gmail.com;+254 721122950 for more information.

On the 2009 experience, what can I say. First of all, let me try to define why I 'signed up'.

For the personal professional development opportunity. For the opportunity to share with fellow teachers from Kenya. To learn and to grow. To offer my skills to Kenyan teachers so that they may increase the number of tools and tricks in their personal repertoire of tricks and techniques. To make more friends.

How did I do? Well, it was an excellent personal professional development activity. I have learned so much from my colleagues: Canadian, American, and Kenyan. Yes, I shared with my Kenyan colleagues. I most certainly learned a lot - and I believe that I have grown personally and professionally from the experience.

We shared many new techniques and approaches with our Kenyan colleagues. I believe we have guided them in their search for answers (their own answers, not ours) to at least some of the issues they face in their schools and classrooms everyday.

Finally, I have made some new friends.

The experience was successful, it was worthwhile - I think we did a fine job. I think we have made a difference.

Teachers Without Borders is fulfilling the goal of closing the educational divide by building capacity in African teachers. Being part of the 2009 team was humbling and inspiring.

Hello everyone, Steve Fairbairn here. You'll (hopefully) see my photo soon. I am very busy at work - as we all are - and I promise to work hard to get myself up to sped sooner rather than later. I am looking forward to this adventure, both the 'work' part (really my favourite way to travel and experience life) and the other things.

I am, asking in advance for your patience as I ask questions that I should know the answers too, and as I put my foot in it (as it were) while I try to get on an even keel ..... I am a fully-released local union president who has a varied background in teaching - many subjects, many settings, (mostly junior secondary), a number of 'overseas' development/teaching teacher experiences (including 5 weeks in SA working with SADTU) ... I live to laugh. Oh yes, my world is the Southeast Kootenay region of British Columbia. Small town/rural outdoorsy stuff.
