SPELT

How is it spelt?
This is the only thing I new about this word. Now it means much more than that for me.

I've already written in this blog how I connected to SPELT through Zaheer (Ladies - 29 Oct) but I have to go back again.

After I'd met Zaheer I had a look at his friend list. There was a young lady, Saheefa. She put her wedding photo as her cover picture and looked extremely happy and beautiful. I sent her friend request but had to wait for days for her reply because she was busy with her first newborn baby.
At the very first time we were chatting she introduced herself as a worker for British Council and suggested me to write a proposal. 'Good idea', I thought, but didn't make any effort to write it.
Then I got to know more and more English teachers in SPELT and my proposal was urgently needed.

I have to confess something. I've never written any proposals before. So I asked Peggy, my Radical English colleague in California to help me and correct my article. "It's good, but not a proposal" she said and she was absolutely right. I didn't want to sell anything, how could I write a proposal? So it turned a Mission Statement which you can read on my Facebook page as well. (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Judit-Tarczy/1431760423714443).

As I'd finished my Mission Statement (MS) obviously I wanted to share it. On Saturday I was on Facebook and saw Faisal online. He is an active worker and speaker at SPELT. He read my MS and wanted to know more details, so we turned to Skype and had about an hour of talk. While we were talking he suddenly remembered a lady in Karachi who is Hungarian. He gave me her FB profile id, but there was some problem and I couldn't send her request. I tried to get contacted her through commenting her posts and after 24 hours of waiting I got her message "hello, itt vagyok!" She is DrZsu, the well known trainer and motivator in Karachi who has been living there for three years now and doesn't want to move even to the USA where she is being invited all the time. She found her home in Pakistan.

Now turn back again to Saturday. I also showed my MS to Saheefa and after she had read it she sent me a link about a kind of teaching training in Turkey. She said I might be interested in it.
I went through the page but didn't understand clearly. I asked help from my Radical English colleagues again. Some of them said it's not worth, some said just try it. I started filling the application form but was hooked at the cover letter. What should I write in a cover letter? So I just left it hanging in the air. Wasn't sure about it.

On Monday morning I had a half an hour of Skype talking to Dr Zsu. She gave me essential information about being a foreign lady in Pakistan and invited me to be her guest when I'm going to Pakistan. She also suggested me to get contacted to Lubna in Spelt. "I've already chatted to her" I told.
"You should also contact to Rehan" she said. "I've already done" I replied.
I told her about my fear of getting visa. "Don't worry" she said, "I know the Pakistani ambassador in person..."

After finishing talking to her I had a very strong thought. "You must go to Turkey and immediately after you go to Pakistan".

I went to Saheefa again and asked her some more details about Turkey. She gave me an email contact where I got answers for my questions and even more. My dream came true when I was told it would be good if I brought an interactive teaching material. Step4English must be finished by the end of January! Oh! And I need somebody who is able to help me to prepare the Turkish version!

I sent a whatsapp message to Dursun in Turkey saying "help!" He is the nice man in Kirikkale whom I visited with my partner this summer (read this blog: One Step Closer; 20 August). Immediately he asked what the problem was. I wrote him I'm going to Bursa in January and need a help who speaks good English and has time. "I know an English teacher in Bursa" he replied.

What is going on here? Can anybody tell me?
