How are you doing? I just wanted to let you know that Rethink Learning Now, something that Sam and I are working on, is currently taking in learning stories for our campaign.

We're going to be publishing a book with the Top 50 stories in a book this late fall.

Just thought you might be interested. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at Patrick.Ip@r-ln.com or 209-604-8832.

Thanks,
Patrick

Happy weekend!

Mucho appreciado, my man, and thanks again for your important work with "enfranchising" those who need to be heard!

At 7:54am on August 27, 2008, Sam Chaltain said…: Robbie! Thanks for joining the Five Freedoms Network, and for helping us ensure that youth voices are placed center stage on opening night. In a sec, I'll send you an invite to join the Group we set up for the conference. Please add your name to that roster, and please encourage your youth poets to set up profiles as well. This space is all about voices like theirs!
