Dear all, Firstly, apologies for any duplicate posting. =========================================== ALT and JISC infoNet - Christmas Charitable Donations Last year ALT and JISC infoNet ran an informal Christmas collection through which we funded the purchase by Oxfam of three camels, a calf, a donkey, and, in addition with an education slant - 300 school dinners, a school desk and chair and some training in modern methods and techniques for a teacher.This was only possible through generous donations received from users of the JISC infoNet service and ALT members. We've decided to repeat the process of giving a charitable donation to Oxfam, but instead of purchasing animals, we would like to provide a donation which will help to train teachers in poor communities and/or provide teaching kits which will contain all they need, from teaching guides to blackboards. You can view the "tariff" here: http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com/ProductItem.aspx?ProductID=OU2639 If you would like to contribute, please send a cheque payable to The Association for Learning Technology (Christmas Collection) to arrive at the ALT Office, Gipsy Lane, Headington, Oxford, OX3 0BP, marked as 'Christmas Charitable Donations' by 15/12/2006. In ALT's case this will be in lieu of sending Christmas and New Year greeting cards, the cost of which will be contributed to the appeal. ALT and JISC infoNet will issue a full summary of how much has been raised during the first week of the new year. =========================================== Many thanks Marion -- Marion Samler, Operations Manager Association for Learning Technology Telephone: +44 (0) 1865 484123 Fax: +44 (0) 1865 484165 -- Gipsy Lane, Headington, Oxford, OX3 0BP, UK Registered Charity Number 1063519 http://www.alt.ac.uk/ ALT Conference, 4-6 September 2007, http://www.alt.ac.uk/altc2007/ -- Our Email response policy can be found at: http://www.alt.ac.uk/contact.html#Email
