Alaska through the eyes of Fijians

Some members of the USP DFL (distance and flexible learning) department are currently in Alaska to share ideas. As you might imagine the South Pacific and Alaska face similar challenges in delivering education to remote, isolated areas with poor technological infrastructure. They're writing a blog about it. I don't know any of these folks personally, but the observations and their take on Alaska are priceless. Such as "Later on in the day we took a taxi to Fred Meyers which is one of the nearest shopping malls from where we are staying. We took a look around & was so amused with the range of things they were selling. Left the mall @ about 4pm & it was dark outside. That's another interesting fact about Alaska in the winter; daylight is from 10am-2pm with the rest of the day in total darkness"

Bula,

You dancing needs work. Just kidding.

I hope you can teach Christine Yee, the fundamentals of seeking funds, independent of Government handouts. Maybe using a financial vehicle like a charity foundation.

U.S.P just jacked up their tution fees. That increase in funds does not go to book procurements.
Destiny has been awarded you, with this task.
Here's my blog analyzing Fiji's current affairs.

Dammit Jim, I'm a librarian, not a banker! Really, what do I know about seeking funds? About as much as I know about dancing! Why would you think that I have any special talents in fun seeking? Why should a university run on charity?
