How did you hear about us and a few words why you want to join EBB:

I have been a teacher for some 37 years and I will be retiring this June. I would like to be able to give back to the profession by working in Africa or another country where there is a need for teacher training and sustainable project work. I heard about your work through a colleague who has friends who have been involved in this kind of service in the past.
