<span style="font-size:14pt;"></span><span style="font-size:14pt;">Dear
All</span><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">I
have been invited to give a
keynote speech at an international seminar on health and aged care
strategy at
the end
of this month near Padang in West Sumatra. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> The
invitation is from one of my
former PhD students, Prof Elfindri (he only has one name) who until
recently was a professor of economics at
Andalas
University in Padang. Now head of a consortium of 216 private
universities in Sumatra he has been the chairman of the research grants
commission for all universities throughout Indonesia. He has also
made an impact nationally through his publications on the study and
application
of 'Positive Deviance', an idea that I introduced to him during his
doctoral studies. <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> Being
a member of a matriarchal (albeit Muslim) society he has to be
continuously kind to his wife! Who drives a souped up original VW
Beetle. <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;"> My
contribution to the seminar arises from Elfindri's knowing that
I have
a strong background in these areas - from my time as an academic in a
Department of Primary Health Care in a medical school in Adelaide,
Australia. With a particular focus on this level of health
care services and the associated necessity of community consultations
to
establish what
local communities perceive as priorities in the planning, development
and
administration of their facilities. And on training
of health care workers
in universities and other institutions to be oriented to community
service. <span style=""> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">This
seminar is a great opportunity
to bring widespread attention to the value of OST approaches in such
enterprises in Indonesia. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">I
would greatly appreciate hearing
from people on the list who have experience of conducting community
consultations
and/or curriculum design using OST particularly but not only in the
Asian
region. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">All
in the realm of promoting
participation, on the premise that: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">"Participation
is the key to
the future of the human race. Participation in families, in politics
...
Participation will save the<br>
human race - if we are saved." <br>
<i>Pete Seeger at aged 89</i></span></p>
<span style="font-size:14pt;"><i></i></span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Go
well</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">Alan <br>

<span style="font-size:14pt;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:14pt;">To
see what is in front of one's
nose needs a constant struggle.<br>
