Fiona Vacher and Aung Myo Myint have already exchanged visits between Forthview and Hle Bee. you can read more about Dr Thein Lwin on http://www.educationburma.net/.
Last time Dr Thein Lwin visited in October 2007, he met all the party leaders in the Scottish Parliament, as you can see here.
We are looking forward to welcoming him and to hearing all he has to teach us about our Hle Bee friends and about Critical Thinking. Watch this space....
