Appropriate Paper-based Technology - Short courses in the UK
Courses in 2009
In 2009 courses will be run primarily for people training as volunteer facilitators for Cerebral Palsy Africa (www.cerebralpalsyafrica.org.uk). This is because Jean is working for them for the year. However Kennett will be taking an active part so there will be lots of help for people with other interests and needs.
