My name is Frank Joe Chou(http://network.earthday.net/profile/FrankJoeChou) from Taiwan. My academic backgrounds: B. S. in Earth Science from National Taiwan University; M. S. in Earth Science from Louisiana State University; M. S. in Management Science from University of Texas, specialized in Application of Total Quality Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) to government, non-government and profit organizations. Operations of successful modern entrepreneurs, small-medium-multinational corporations are all based on modern management science, especially on Total Quality Management(TQM) and Organizational Learning focusing on quality, team-brain-storming, systematic thinking and action, creativity/innovation/invention,etc.. Encouraged by academicians in university management schools and successful business practicianers, many government and non-government organizations all over the world follow these practices with successful results, too.(References: (1)Many books written by Peter Drucker; (2)Reinventing Government: How Entrepreneurial Spirits Change Public Sectors, by David Osborne & Ted Gaebler; (3)Many others, including "Butterfly Effect").
I am writing a series of books on "Everyday is Earth Day!" with the creative themes and looking for teams to make cartoon books, computer-animated movies, film series, TV-teleplay series, with Application of practice and art in Total Quality Management (TQM) and Organizational Learning(OL) to government, non-government and profit organizations. These projects can be done through internet, but with the best results (efficiency, effectiveness, creativity, etc.) through neighborhood/city/county community's study-circles, living out-of-state or out-of-country through national/international exchange programs by government, non-government and profit organizations, churches, schools, universities, etc.. I am working on such projects to create a global net work of "Integrated Creative Life-Long-Learning Organization for Global Village Community"(abbreviated as”IC3LO project”). You are quite welcome to Taiwan to be English teacher to teach something important in our life, including "Everyday is Earth Day!" . Everyone can enjoy entertaining way of creative learning in daily life to be a happy married couple, parents, youth, adults, single, etc.
Many Taiwanese schools/universities/cities/counties got several foreign sister schools/universities/cities/counties and introduce many foreign native language speakers to be language teachers in private and public schools/universities, because every Taiwanese knows that everyone requires proficiency in many foreign languages, and wisdom of and real experience with foreign cultures and civilizations in this huge tide of globalization and global competition, and knowledge-based economy. All of foreigners are well-treated like one's own family members because of several hundred years of Taiwanese hospitality tradition, and can get full development in career and academic potentials. All are all welcome to Taiwan to be teachers to teach something important in our life, including "Everyday is Earth Day!" ,and work together to become a global network for everyone's goodness and God's purposes to save the whole world (at least to terminate all of the massacre tragedies happened on high-school and university campuses all over the world)and upgrade quality of life, human culture and civilization, etc..

Thank you so much for your email! I am so excited to hear from you, and I am so grateful for your willingness to work together. Are you based in Buea? I would love to learn more about the work that you do. How wonderful that you are part of this Earth Day Network.
I am planning to arrive in Cameroon in January of 2009, but it may be as soon as September 2008. I am considering several options for research while I am in Cameroon, and I would be very grateful for your advice and insight. The possibilities I am considering now are:
1) Impacts of climate change on Cameroonian farmers and strategies for adapting to climate change
2) The role of youth involvement in the climate change activism
3) Food riots and violence and the link to climate change
4) Human impacts of natural disasters (floods, landslides, or events such as Lake Nyos)
5) Increased transmission of infectious disease and climate change
Do any of these seem like relevant topics to you? Thank you so much for your advice. Is there any information I can provide to you that would be helpful to you? I would be more than happy to share anything I can.
Very best wishes,
Katie
