Acknowledgments

We would like to thank many people for the invaluable help they gave to this project.

From CCLOW:
Aisla Thomson, for her reassuring calm, her faith that we would achieve miracles and her playfulness.
Bernnitta Hawkins, who eagerly and with humor took over a million decisions in the middle and who makes it clear she believes in our work without ever having met us.
Dianne Palachik, for the hidden work that makes everything run smoothly.
Facilitators:
Elaine Gaber-Katz, who helped us, over and over again, to see where we were and move forward, and who was a personal inspiration to many of us.
Moon Joyce, who played and sang and got us singing to bring us together, to energize and encourage us.

Selvi Varathappan Dyck and Marie Gregory, who remain a big part of the project, even though, as a result of circumstances beyond their control, they were not able to complete the work. We would like to thank them for the research and writing they did on women's issues, and for contributing their ideas and their enthusiasm to our meetings.

Louise Ford, for her creative contributions to our first meeting.

All the individual adult literacy and EAL learners we have encountered, for their honesty, courage and determination to learn, and for helping us learn to teach.
