    dear Marlou, Today I visited your page and that is so cool......a t-shirt in the wash line! I liked it. I heard that you work from kitchen, i can visualize it. You might heard I ama good visualizer!!
    sendme pictures of you in the kitchen working.
    I have not had any SALT visit yet. Went to Merauke for the workshop. We are planning tohave a SALT visit during second week of November. I am looking forward to it.
  • rebeka sultana

    hi, i have been waiting and thought that a discussion will be initiated by you this week so we will share our questions, clarifications, concerns on salt process. I know I have not asked you for this. I need help to know SALT more. How do i do that?
  • rebeka sultana

    Thanks Marloue.
    Yeah i am 40 and have two beautiful children, 16 and 12.
  • Jayakar

    Thanks for your mail, Marloue I am encouraged by your words.
  • Luc Barriere-Constantin

    Thank you for the welcome. Still in Chiang mai?? The "long-distance" runner was more an image than something totally real although I started to run again. But I just wonder if I am not running after myself... Thsi image wanted to say that "there is still a long way to go... to have ACP around the world. But let's strive for it!
    I am really looking for meeting Jean-Louis next week. You won't be with us?
    All the best to everybody.

    Dear Marlou,

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I am very glad to be here. I am really eager to meet more people who are practicing ACP to learn and share. Coming to your question "Marlou" its a short form of my surname. The names of both my grand fathers and my Father is in it. "Martin and Louis" are the names and I have taken the first 3 letters from it. Is "Marlou" your given name. It feels so good to meet someone with the same name.

    Take care, with warm regards,

    Prabakar (Marlou... Ha Ha...)
  • M.L. Prabakar

    Dear Marlou,

    It is really nice to know that. It is verymuch the same with a slight difference.
    I saw your mail to Dr. Indumathi, my Director. She is attending the conference at DAKAR, where ACP is also in the agenda. I am really thrilled because she is interested in ACP and this sharing and learning will really add a lot of value to our efforts. May I know who will be representing the constellation at this conference. I was delighted to see my name and the work we do in the list of HIVOs partners in ACP. Please add my colleagues name (Mr. J. Robin) too. as of now we are the two but shortly I will introduce some more practitioners from our organisation.

    with warm regards,

    Prabakar
  • M.L. Prabakar

    Dear Marlou,

    I was touched. I had been addressed by my surname only twice in my life. Now it is you who is addressing me with both my names. Thanks. This name was my given name, as well as my surname and everybody called me Prabakar because you If they call me Martin or Louis it will be like calling my Grand fathers or my father by their name. In our culture it is disrespectful to call elderly people by their names. So my family comfortably called be Prabu ( a short version of Prabakar). Please continue to to call me Marlou.

    Thanks for the information. I also thought that Dr. JLL will be there I am so delighted. All the best for all our freinds in the planning for 2009.
    Take care,

    Warmly,
    MARLOU :)

    Hey there Marlou,

    Thanks for the intro notes from you and JL, I really appreciate. I am in the process of establishing the Kenya Competence face as well, am on it with Laurence adn we woudl be up and running even though we are just taking small steps.

    I also have a blog address which has been running since May, will share that as well, but I am excited about this new connection and what it will mean for the dev of the Kenya Competence. I am sure April has already mentioned and through JL as well that our core-team will nolonger be functioning as of 31 June next year. If you pray, please pray for all of us and know that I am would be more available from June, its most likely going to be hecktic between Jan to June as we wrap up a 30year experience in six months.

    Thanks for the encouragments and I will definatley join in the other links. I see you called M.L Prabakar by his names and he is impressed. You can call me Meble.

    Thanks Marlou! I've been blogging since 2005 and there were several invitations to use ning. Now I finally succumb to it because it a worthy cause... spreading AIDS Competence in communities!

    Will definitely maximize the experience and hope to learn too.

    I am with our youngest son. He is mistaken to be a girl because of his long hair!
  • John

    Thanks Marlou. This network is really something. I think i will be learning a lot from the experiences of others in their journey towards AIDS competence. I hope i can bring in my share as well for others to learn. Happy new year.

    Hi Marlou, it's wonderful to see the Constellation using Ning. Congratulations! Please do knock on my door if you want to talk about business models. My book on the topic should be out end of May...

  • Elizabeth Musimbi

    Hi Marlou, thank you for welcoming me in the world of AIDS Competence.
    I will add my photo as you have said so that you can see the one you are talking too.
    I will be very glad to share stories with you. The facilitation team has helped me alot. The first time I took Africa Nazarene University students to Kithituni for SALT visit, it was very exciting and we learned a lot. This has prompted me to work with our local churches and look for the way forward of how we can listen to the concerns in the community and also appreciate what they are doing. We are now part of the FBO coaltion in Kenya and it working well.

    Dear Marlou,
    The Blended Learning in Barcelona has not yet taken off because of personal issues of members, but we hope to be fully involved soon. We plan to have a team meeting next week and I guess that a more realistic plan will come out of it.
    Of course, I am willing that all the members of the Barna (Barcelona) team will be part of the Ning community. I am sure they will show up soon.
    Love
    MariJo
