SECID, the Southeast Consortium for International Development,is based in Washington, D.C. SECID is a consortium of land grant universities which provides technical assistance and trainging in developing countries.

We are preparing a proposal for USAID to implement a five-year training program in Southern Sudan. This program will provide training to local trainers who will subsequently train other participants. The subject matter areas include:
1. Crop production; 2 Animal production; 3. SME agribusiness, marketing and economics;
4. Fisheries development and processing;
5. Forestry and forest product development; and
6. Wildlife management.

We are seeking candidates who have subject matter expertise (MS degrees desirable), training experience and an interest in accepting two-year assignments in the southern part of the country - likely locations include: Yambio, Maridi, Yirol, Rumbeck, Boma, and Yei.

Interested persons can Email CVs and/or email Bob Delemarre at: rad@secid.org to obtain more information, raise questions, etc. These assignments would not be suitable for families with children due to lack of facilities and schooling.

My apologies if my posting is not appropriate for this forum. I am looking for the contact information of my former US Peach Corps volunteer teachers at St. Stephen's High School in Mohale's Hoek, Lesotho from 1978 to 1981. I only know their last names: Mr & Mrs. Begnal (sp?) and Mr. Fullbright. Any help is much appreciated.

Hello to Friends of Lesotho:

I have friends in Madison WI (she's from Lesotho, he Eritrea) who want to send children's clothes back to Lesotho to assist orphanages, hospitals, etc.

Do you know any agency or organization that is organized to send such things to Lesotho -- for example, a church or a RPCV group? They'd like to get in touch with you and take advantage of any connections (in particular, shipping), that you may have. (They have good connections on the other end for distribution, etc.)

Please contact me at dennyc@tds.net Thanks!

One of our own RPCV's was named CNN Hero of the year last fall. Liz McCartney (Education 1994) is the co-founder of St Bernard Project in New Orleans. The project works to rebuild houses and lives through volunteers and donations. I'm organizing a group of Lesotho RPCVs from the mid 1990's to help in New Orleans June 18-23, 2009. There's already several signed up. Please contact me as soon as possible so that you can be added to the group. I plan to make a group reservation at a guest house near the project.
