    • Help a Friend

    •      Do you have skills and experience you would like to share ?  For example  'retired maths teacher is happy to help others improve their maths skills on line. Contact name and email address'

      Do you have professional skills acquired through work or education that others might find helpful ? For example, 'Former Commonwealth Scholar is happy to mentor student living abroad for the first time. Contact name and email address'


      If the answer is yes why not share these skill and any others you may have with someone else from the Commonwealth who needs them. Outline  them very briefly on the Forum.
