This week three of Wellspring's staff members are attending the Africa Roundtable in South Africa.  The week long roundtable, which is hosted by the Association of Christian Schools International, is an invitation only event for 125 of the top leaders in Christian education within Africa.   Wellspring's Program Director Yvonne Dyer, Country Director Jeffery Komant, and the Chairman of ACT Rwanda have been invited to participate.  

 The goal of the Roundtable is to bring together African Christian leaders, not only to honor and critique the history of Christian schooling in Africa but to welcome the new era in Africa where Christian schooling will play an increasingly dynamic role within the church and the broader community, thus, strategically addressing the immense educational problems facing the continent. Further, the Africa Roundtable will encourage strategic partnerships that could work synergistically to advance continental change through Christ-centerd schooling.

 Yvonne will also be taking part in a writer's workshop related to her ongoing work with the 10 module African Certificate of Education.  I am looking forward to a full report in the next few days and will make sure to post the results of their trip here.
