OST in Italy?

[Glory Ressler]

Valentina:
My family was in Rome, Florence and Tuscany generally last summer! Blessing 
to beautiful Italy!!

I am working with the Niagara College youth international internship program 
here in Canada. The work is very similar to that of your school, although we 
don't focus exclusively on conflicted countries. If you'd like me to put you 
in touch with them, I would be happy to do so... just let me know!

Although born and raised in Canada, my father's family originated in Torino 
(Bertone) - so I send my especially warm wishes for Italian open space!

Sincerely,
Glory

> with commitment and dedication during the last academic year!
> I also work as a consultant for some Italian local governments and I have

> I would like to help OST spreading in Italy, especially in the No-Profit

> We would be very happy to host a Conference.
> With great appreciation for Harrison Owen and all of you in this list.
