Somewhere on this page is a link to the person who handles that program for the IOLI. Let me know if you are able to make contact. It may take a day or 2 for a response.

Comment by Christy Gutierrez Carrillo on March 3, 2018 at 8:31pm: Hello.... I want to participate to this program. What I have to do????

That program goes directly through the IOLI itself. Go to the MAIN page of laceioli, and click on the url directly under the IOLI logo. On that page, on the right, click on PROFICIENCY PROGRAM. That will give you links to the chairperson for that aspect, and links to background information.

Once you start I would love to hear all about your adventure with it. Keep us posted. I think others also would like to see the pieces and your progress. At the least it would give others an idea of what is involved, and might spark more participation in that program.

Have fun with it.
