Message-ID: <346AFEFC.BA515508@gusun.georgetown.edu> Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 08:22:05 -0500 From: Martin Sieg <mailto:siegm@GUSUN.GEORGETOWN.EDU> Subject: [Fwd: ANNOUNCE> CUBA/AFRICA/BRAZIL PROG; GHANA Dist Lrng To: mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU
I have forwarded this in the belief that many of you will be interested.I received it through a Canadian mailing list, and the web-addresses seem to be based in the US, so I am guessing that the positions are open to people in both countries. I belive the $s are American.
good luck !
