It takes a village






Well, this was a great show. The Talking Teacher is quite pleased to share that this past week's show was rather uplifting and encouraging. Bermuda is a small place, and one person's problem is another person's problem, on the other hand, one person's success is anothers. This is where and how our guests come into play. It takes a village to raise our children, and how great to see how this tiny village of ours is pulling together to help to ensure that our future is in good hands. Once again, there are many who are helping, and to all those groups and individuals that take the time out to assist our young scholars in any way, shape or form, we salute you. We highlighted a few, the Delta Sigma Theta, who are helping by giving out books, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., who take the time out of their busy schedules to help our make scholars to achieve in math, and Youth Net, a program which was the brainchild of Cornell Fubler and has now grown to over 500 participants!! Want to see more on them or want to sign up? Click here to go to their site. Well done to you, well done to all of our groups on the island. We applaud you!!

We also highlighted a new initiative which is being sponsored by the Bermuda Department of Education, called iTeach©, which is an innovative institute, the brainchild of our co-host, Mrs. Garita Coddington. This is the first time that this program will be run and it really sounds as if it is going to be great. Need more info? Email the institute at- iteachbda@gmail.com .
