Goodbyes
We would like to express our thanks to Ann Matthews, Sarah Spall and Shilpa Patel who resigned from the Board in 2006 due to other work, voluntary and personal commitments.
Ann and Sarah made particularly valuable contributions to Skillshare International during our merger with Action Health in 2000. Both had been development workers in India before joining the Board.
Shilpa had been a development worker with Swaziland Action Group Against Abuse in Swaziland before joining the Board.
