Hi Wayne I am happy to have been actively involved with the L4C initiative, and am glad to see so many WE family members grow. It is a very nice feeling to introduce new members to WE and see the difference WE makes in them giving them the perspective to understand & contribute towards OER's. I want to offer to help out with this July workshop as a facilitator. Wishing this workshop & WE a great success. Gita Mathur
