Dearest Hala,

I'm so haaaaappyyyy for you and so proud of you! What a well-deserved
scholarship award!! I just wish I could be in World CALL to meet you
f2f and
hug you many, many times and give you lots of beijinhos. :-)
You will be a FA-BU-LOUS representative of the Webheads!
Hugs and beijinhos, (Teresa.Portugal)


Dear Hala, Erika, Evelyn, Nina, Susan, Nelba and Jennifer
Kudos to you all for a well-deserved scholarship, for spreading the Webhead
word and emphasizing our presence on- and offline! I'm very, very happy for
you!!! Webheads rock!!!
I hope that there are Webcast sessions and I'll certainly be there with you!
Beijinhos all, Teresa (off to celebrate!)



I am really proud of you guys! Congratulations :-)
I was part of the Scholarship committee, and I can
tell you it was a very difficult process with more
than 90 applicants from all over the world. However, I
have to say that from the beginning and without
reading their names (which I found out later in the
process), webheads´ statements of purpose shined with
their expertise and involvement in CALL projects.
Have a great trip to Japan, don´t forget to take tons
of pics to share, and as Tere said, if there are
online events, let us know.
Warm hugs,
Daf

Dear Hala:

You see? I told you in Alado chat room, somehow I knew you were going to the convention. I read somewhere at Andy's page that you were going!!!!
You deseve it Hala, you have worked very hard and your students learned a lot with you.
Picture me jumping up and down for you!!!
Well done girl!
Have a great time, enjoy and hug everyone for me.

Congratulations to the awardees!!!! !

I'm sure you will benefit a lot as I did when I myself was selected as an awardee to go to the WorldCALL 2003 in Banff. I learned a lot with all the talks and I really loved meeting all the experts in CALL. :-)

Dear Halainha!
Once again: CONGRATS!
You are brilliant and deserve such prize. WORLDCALL also needs you there to help them inspire more educators on that side of the globe.
What can I say. They made the right choice by selecting you and I will support you all the way.

Go to Japan and rock their world. Just be yourself! :-)

I am really happy for you.

Thank you Cris for the sincere words that come from your deep heart!
Being myself is what tires me most! It takes all the energy I have!:-)
Thanks and hope to see you f2f soon.

Wow!!!! Congratulations to all of you Awardees!!! Everyone's excitement is so contagious. I'm deeply thrilled for all of you. In fact, I got goose bumps reading about everyone's joy. I know all the Webheads are so talented,
dedicated, hardworking, and forever caring and it's so nice to see this type of recognition for those Awardees!!! Everyone's emails made my day. They all show
the beautiful side of this world. What a lift!!!
Bless all of you!!!!!!

Congratulations to all of you seven outstanding webheads. Amazing result of
your exemplary hard work.

I read about thiw wonderful news 12 hours before I was doing a presentation
for web 2.0 librarians in Norway (with webhead lurker Niels Damgaard as my
host), sharing my narrative on social and collegial learning opportunities
in the electronic village online, of course with Webheads as my central
case. Your success(es) offered a fine springboard story. Blogged on

I would like to
congratulate the scholarship awardees for their success. I truly believe each and every webhead that I had the chance to know through their e-mails deserve recognition for their work, energy, and scholarship.
