I just returned from Nigeria a week and a half ago and I too visited schools in central Nigeria. I saw as you have the stark nature of schools with no books at all and only blackboards and stools and benches. I want to start a partnership with someone to help this school in Ode-Ere in Kogi State. Would you please contact me and help me get direction. I also visited a school for special needs with no books for their deaf students. Please contact me and I can tell you more. Thanks for your help and your love for these precious Nigerian children. God Bless You. Liz Dear Dena,

I have two offers to work on projects developing curriculum materials for nonprofit organizations. I graduated from Bank Street in '91 and spent 13 years working for Brooklyn Center for the Urban Environment as the Coordinator For Early Childhood Programs. I created outdoor environmental science programs, trained staff and lead staff development programs for teachers. I worked as an early childhood science teacher at a public school in Brooklyn for 5 years, prior to this school year. I would be interested in hearing about your experience as a consultant. In particular, I need input about the nuts and bolts. To be more specific, I'm trying to set a rate. I’m looking for someone who can advise me on the business end of working as a consultant.
