As part of a research project, I am trying to compile a list of organisations which provide assistance and resources to teachers in finding a partner school/classroom or setting up a colloborative project on a global level. If you have any recommendations or ideas, or can share your experiences with me, I would love to hear from you. Thank you!

a partnering organisation I have used is http://www.globalgateway.org.uk It was great, I have had partnerships and links with schools in Uganda, England and Scotland.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the tip regarding globalgateway.org. I would be very interested in hearing about your partnership in Uganda (how the school was selected, technological requirements/tools, projects/activities, impressions, etc.) Im keen to collaborate with a school in Africa and am thinking about Tansania. I've never done a school link before so any insight would be appreciated.
Regards
Janice

I am the Provincial Coordinator of Project Kenya Sister schools. Over the past four years we have raised over $180,000 for students in the East Laikipia of Kenya. Through our partnership with the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, we have partnered 13 schools across Canada to elementary and high schools surrounding the conservancy. We are currently helping to build a district library and 4 small libraries in our sister schools that currently have room. For more information I can send you an invite by email to our Ning site, currently under construction. To request an invite, email me at nbryson60@gmail.com
