Dear Principal,

Towards the end of 2009 four schools in our local cluster of Indonesian-teaching schools were successful in applying for a grant from the abovementioned organization. We hope to spend the money in the following way:

- organizing and funding one classroom teacher (preferably a teacher of English or Bahasa Indonesia) from 3 different Indonesian schools to visit our area in May (tentative arrival date 9 May 2010) - organizing and running professional development for these teachers and their Australian counterparts in the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to create web 2.0-style links for students to use (for example the use of wikis, blogs, podcasts etc) - supporting ongoing connections between classrooms in our area and Indonesia, so that students can use ICT to experience real world use of their LOTE to communicate with their peers

We hope that your school can select one teacher who would be happy to travel to Australia and participate in this exciting and innovative project.

Contact can be made with us via email at the above address. We hope to begin work on obtaining visas and reserving seats on flights as soon as possible, so a prompt reply to this email would be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Geoff Brown Ruth Borger

Other than mentioning visas, it all sounds good, Ruth. Lets get it out asap. (Geoff)
