Vienna-Hub: People with Passion in Education

Dear Juliet and Santigie,

T4 are creating quite a movement - In the first 24 hours of announcing the Top 3 finalists for the World's Best School Prizes we have seen 374 news articles celebrating our schools all around the world reaching over 1 billion people. Like (a) piece highlighting the amazing work of Green School Bali in Indonesia's biggest newspaper. #transformingeducation #strongschools

I mentioned you here in the new T4 app

School Leadership

Conversation Starter

I am connecting with small and large school projects in Africa and elsewhere ( Pakistan, Nepal ) where there is a crying need for finance. I am keen to become a "trusted partner" for investors who would be keen to support such projects if they trusted their money would be well spent. My intention is that by showing a track record of personal time and effort with results, the investors could speed the growth of some great people with big hearts doing great things in education. One early friend I found was Santigie in Freetown, featured in the slide here.

I am also interested to form links between such schools, so that the kids connecting and their parents feel interested to support some better internet access for their friends abroad, and I believe and have seen that this micro finance can add real value fast. An internet connection is far easier, faster and cheaper to instal than a new school building. Some projects seem hampered ( and tie up their founders energies) by needing investment for the buildings rather than simply teaching under the trees...

Wish me luck and send me love, Nigel

Juliet I sat with in Vienna one Saturday on a drumming course. We were "so good" that we were not allowed to graduate onto drums, all of us, merely slapping our knees and cicking our fingers.... :-)
