Message-ID: <9509071310.AA00414@cr-df.rnp.br> Date: Thu, 7 Sep 1995 10:09:59 EST From: Joaquim Moura <mailto:poa-bsb@CR-DF.RNP.BR> Subject: Re: NE New Highlights To: Multiple recipients of list DEVEL-L <mailto:DEVEL-L@AMERICAN.EDU>
Nebraska and Piaui Partners' work and the report done by Elizabeth are very important and show us a wholer picture of our common efforts. I will fax it to our chapter's president, Pedro Rodrigues, and take a hard copy to our next chapter meeting. And also take it to the next meetings with the Action for Citizenship Brasilia Committee and with the local government officers, to show that other people like us, in other Brasilian states (and in other countries, I sure), are already working in the way I have been suggesting: increasing the international collaboration toward concrete mutual socio-cultural improvement. Including the intensive and objective use of the Internet communicative resources just recently available for us. Thank you, Beth and every person involved. Joaquim.>NEBRASKA PARTNERS NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
