Schools’ Sub-Group Group
Special Meeting
Schools Area Linking Visit to Bo
Thursday, 9th September, 2010
at 4.30 p.m.
Salisford Office Park, Warwick
with Judith Walker, International Development Officer
Now that we are only meeting once each term, the OWL Schools Support Group would very much like to visit one school each term to talk with other staff and/or the Headteacher (possibly at a staff meeting?) to discuss ways of sustaining the Link there.
If you would like us to come to your school either this term or next, please contact us by email education@oneworldlink.org.uk so that we can arrange a suitable time.
Welcome
with Bo Town in Sierra Leone.
COMMUNICATING WITH BO
The great news is that communication with Bo is just about to get easier - email has arrived at last! Email has been around in Sierra Leone for some time, of course, but it has been difficult for most people to access as well as being expensive.
But now Bo-OWL has installed broadband facility at the One World Link Centre in Bo.

In conjunction with Judith Walker, Warwickshire School’s International Development Officer, we are in the process of applying to the British Council for a DofE Area Linking Visit Grant for a cluster of schools to go to Bo, Sierra Leone (West Africa), possibly during the week before half-term February 14th – 18th, 2011. Each school would have one representative, preferably the headteacher, to visit and work with a matched school in Bo on developing a lasting and mutually beneficial partnership. If it were another member of your staff, they would need full backing of the headteacher to take the project forward.
