Dear Everyone:
My interest is sparked by a story. I attended an international conference recently held here in Barbados, Caribbean. One young woman came from Madagascar and she was originally from Japan. I am afraid that raised for me a concern. She was talking of an educational programme of which she was a part in Madagascar. She showed pictures of the programme, including her assistant. He was a native Madagascar person and quite older than she was. I regretted that she never thought to use the funds to bring her here to fund the assistant. Perhaps he could not have contributed as well as she could and maybe the returns for the project would have been less if he had come. But as an African descendant I wish that he had come.
Perhaps we need to consider how education globally is being made to reproduce relations that that are not useful for the new world we say we want.
Incidentally, this is not an either or choice although it is posed as such. The problem is that resources forces us into thinking along these lines. It forces me anyway.
Guidance,
Margaret (Kawamuinyo)
