Do you know of any organizations which have been successful advocating
for telework on behalf of persons with disabilities. My wife is ex director
of United Cerebral Palsy here in Nashville and I'm trying to start an
initiative to encourage Tennessee employers to consider this as a viable
source of employees.

I am the webmaster and tech volunteer for the World Convention of Churches
of Christ <http://members.aol.com/worldconv>.

They have the responsibility of trying to inform congregations in over 160
countries concerning a convention held every four years at a different
global location. In 2000 it will be in Brisbane, Australia. They would like
to consider some kind of global netcasting but have an extremely limited
budget. Would you hae any advise for me concerning where I would go to find
funding or other kinds of technical help?

My ultimate goal is to get them to better coordinate (using net technology)
"the good works" programs each of these churches sponsor, especially when
they tend to reinvent the wheel because they don't know what another church
is doing in a given area. This way I hope fewer funds will be wasted and
programs can work synergistically.

Dear Colleagues,
I received your e-mail addresses from contributors to the gkd listserve. I'm
planning, within UNICEF, a small pilot project to link teacher training
institutes and some primary schools to the internet in projects which UNICEF
assists in Bangladesh and the Philippines. We will also develop a teaching and
learning website at UNICEF in New York to support this work. I'm looking for
volunteer expertise in establishing LANS in remote areas and in maintaining
the NY website, and would appreciate any information I can get on this topic.
With thanks in advance.
Elaine Furniss
