Wonderful news. I visited your beautiful region last year and saw the seeds of a flourishing facilitation team. It's great to see this happening now.

One question for the team: how can the team use Blended Learning to strengthen its capacity even more?

[Laurence Gilliot]

Congratulations to all of you for bringing your own stone to build this strong and beautiful home. Home for all facilitators and communities who believe in themselves and the capacity of others.

Now that you are united, you can do anything. You can move mountains if you want to :)
