It really is a small world

After traveling to Cali several times from Australia,I always collect pamphlets and brochures from whatever in Cali.

After returning home from a trip ,I had collected a brochure from a english school in Cali,I don't know why ,but I do remember someone telling me it was run by an Australian guy.

So I sent him an email as his name looked familiar and to my surprise he used to be my football coach when I was a child and I also went to school with his brother for many years.

This just proves it is a small world after all

teaching Hi all (and excellent work Peter!)

I am a second year mature student at Oxford University (England), I am nearly fluent in Spanish, and I was captivated by Colombia when I visited in 2002. My dream ever since has been to return.

I would love to work in Colombia for six weeks or so during my summer vacation next year (July and August 2005). Do you know whom I might contact in order to apply to schools in the country?

I would ideally love to work in Santa Marta, but anywhere at all would do!

Any information you might have, or merely some encouragement, would be very gratefully appreciated.

Kind regards,
Barry

What kind of work do you want to do? If you're at Oxford, I suggest you look back through the Alumni network and contact some of the many Colombians who have attended there (among them, President Uribe). I'm sure they would love to to help a fellow Oxfordian who wants to come to Colombia.
