Job Announcement: English Language Specialists neededFeb-Mar

[M van Naerssen]

Bridget,
Just wanted to let you know that I was approved yesterday to do the State 
Department  project in Mindanao, Philippines.
Thank you for the posting the announcement. I did some quick decision-making 
and application drafting last weekend.

I have done a number of English Language Specialist assignments, but have 
not been keeping up with recent postings as I've learned that certain areas 
have had reduced funding.

While I'm using a upenn email for some of my language in education and 
linguistics networking, I am not now employed by Penn--though I've been 
allowed to keep this acct.

I wonder who took the university assignment in Palestine.  The security risk 
is a bit higher than Mindanao.  Also the lead time was shorter (given 
current commitments), and I would have had to do more preparation for 
certain parts of the assignment. I've also done projects in Morocco and 
Egypt but there were other factors.  I've done several projects with the 
emphases mentioned in the Mindanao description, and I've lived and worked in 
SE Asia and have been to the Philippines on refugee work and vacation, but 
never to the south.
Thanks for the alert!
Margaret
