Yes I am sitting here crying over hours of work on reviewing the Arabic curriculum . I started a word document and was writing in some errors I found . I just cannot find the document . I am looking everywhere on my computer , actually it is not my computer , I used my husband's following kezia's recommendation , and my fear I was adding up to my document and forgot to save and somebody must have closed it by accident and it got deleted . | just want to say it is a beautiful curriculum , my kids love it and I can see them learning a lot from it . it is very nicely made , well done one more time brillkid team and the team who helped translating and creating the Arabic curriculum . xxx viv

Tanikit we have same problem here , no public libraries so we buy all our books and with the way my kids devour books i can see it being very costly. How do you read books from the internet ?? do you use a kindle or ipad or on computer screen ?? . if you have special sites where you find books for free please share with us xxx viv

Lappy I applied a while ago to join EEECF . I was hoping to bring BK products to our orphanages and poor schools . All i have in hand is my own copy of Little reader that i use with my kids . The population I am aiming for is really poor , no computers available , I need some guidance what steps to take , how to do it ?? what resources you can provide ?? do you have any printed material i can take along when contacting educaiton associations ?? 2 weeks ago I was in touch with a european running an NJO to build schools in remote areas , i told her about EEECF and the programs , she was very excited and wanted to meet to discuss it further , she was thinking they might work on providing some computers so we can run little readers in the schools they are building . Any advice, recommendations , documents you can provide me so i can prepare for our meeting ?? viv

i tried once to join listening library for specialneed for isa , and because we didn't live in UK , i did it through a friend living in UK and gave Uk address . my friend left and we didn't renew . i received an email from them asking me to renew for free ( before it was paid subscription that my friend offered to pay as gift for isa ) , i explained to them that i don't live in Uk now nut would love to have access to their audios for my specialneed daughter . they wrote back a very polite apologetic reply saying that their library is registered charity for specialneed residents of UK , she said she is sorry that my daughter has no access to audio libraries where we live , wishing me luck . Well this is the reward for being honest , i should have lied and gave a uk address , i guess i wished they would be a bit sympathetic with me and allow us access to their audios . It would be wonderful if this is possible in other libraries , What my friend did Manda is exactly what you are proposing , he considered himself isa's uncle . i will be grateful if you don't mind adopting my kids for a library card xxx viv

I know about ti and sadly . it is a technique adoped by the Institutes used with their specialneed kids as part of the intensive treatment program and not sure if they encouraged in their better baby course .Same as their brachiation program and many others ... my advice provide your babies enough opportunities to move in a loving clean safe environment and nature will take care of the rest ,Pushing your babies by manipualting their limbs in this way is not safe for their musqueletal skeletal and joint structure so please be careful xxx viv
