Scotland Malawi Partnership newsletter

[Jemma Neville]

Dear all,

The Twinning Project was featured in this month's Scotland Malawi Partnership (SMP) newsletter. You can download a copy on their website or open the pdf attachment in this email. The editors had to cut down my original piece as it was too long (I can't think why!) so I've given you the longer version too.

Some good news is that I've already received positive feedback and some email enquiries from other SMP members interested in our work. Hopefully, this will generate useful links.

Please feel free to circulate the newsletter with other interested contacts and also suggest that they register as members of this mailing list.

Happy reading,

Jemma

It's nice to see the article in SMP newsletter, though I was a little
sad to see it had been edited as I much preferred your original
version.

It might be worth mentioning this in your next blog entry as it's a
good indicator of the relationship between the projects.

Have you any plans on reusing the original article?

On your point about suggesting people register on the mailing list, it
might be an idea to include a link on the website to the
GoogleGroup/MailingList (
http://groups.google.com/group/scotland_malawi_clinics ). We might
also consider writing a post encouraging wider involvement.

Rick.
