I am applying as an individual supporter as I value the work of POETCom which I help found with Adimaimalaga, Drew, Nambo Karen Clemeont, Gillz and others. I feel I have the individual knowledge and contacts to make sure the organization survives into the next 20 years. I am also still on the INOFO Board and its important I keep close ties with the organization As you know I also worked at POETCom as the acting Coordinator and I stepped down to allow in the current Coordinator I then worked as POETCom Extension Officer since the start. With regards to all the funding for POETCom I worked with Karen to get almost all the funding that POETCom enjoys know. I with karen aligned the movement to met the new challengers. At my current Job at lIve and Learn - all the work is about sustainability and I want to continue the link as we are talking about the same thing
