Hi Savithri, The early pioneers like yourself have prepared fertile ground for our project to grow and mature. By adopting a culture of gifting, sharing and tireless support for new WikiEducators we continue to welcome new leaders and champions into the fold.
This is what education was meant to be! We'll continue on this path. Still lots of work before we have OERs in support of all national curricula at all levels. Hey -- we'll be able to tell our grandchildren amazing stories about the early days of our phenomenal project!
