Title: Rich in books
Body: From the article at: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/09/26/ CMGEU8FK9A1.DTL An American businessman seeks the meaning of life from a bearded wise man on a remote mountaintop. It's standard cartoon fare, but for John Wood, it's not far from the truth. After raking in $2 million as a Microsoft executive, he quit in 1998, trekked into the Himalayas and stumbled into his true calling: to become the Johnny Appleseed of school libraries in impoverished Asian villages. "It was the second day of an 18-day trek in the Annapurnas," Wood recalls, "when I met a headmaster who invited me to visit his school in Bahundanda. Once we made the two-hour walk, I found enthusiastic teachers, but a complete lack of resources. Eighty kids were crammed into classrooms meant for 20. They sat on long benches with no backs, balancing notebooks on their knees. The chalkboard was tiny and the absence of artificial lighting made it hard to see. But what struck me the most was the school library: an empty room with 20 books, backpacker castoffs like Danielle Steel novels that the kids would never read anyway. There were no children's books. When I asked how they got by with 20 adult novels for 450 kids, the headmaster replied, 'Perhaps, sir, you could help us to get more books.' Cooper, B. (2004). Rich in books.

The American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) is recruiting native speakers of specific critical languages (please see list below of targeted languages) for training workshops to be held in Washington, D.C. on October 7-11, 2004 and October 13-17, 2004.

Further benefits include becoming an oral proficiency tester for U.S. government testing - a status giving you the opportunity to make more money in the future by working for ACTFL from your home, on an as needed basis, on your own terms, and setting your own hours. Interested or know someone who is? Let us know by return email (professionalprograms@actfl.org) and we'll send you more information. But before we do, there is one caveat - all participants must either be U.S. citizens, permanent residents or have a 3-5 year Visa to work in the U.S. Thanks so much for your help with our search.
