ASE/PL001	ACADEMY OF VEDIC MATHEMATICS Clive Middleton is the web master for the web site www.vedicmaths.org. He has helped develop a range of interactive tutorials for this web site. "I am looking for sponsorship to cover the cost of developing more interactive web based tutorials on the subject of Vedic Mathematics. The practise of Vedic Mathematics naturally develops the ability of a person to perform mental calculations. If you wish to get a feel for the kind of material I wish to develop then see the interactive tutorials already made available at our website, www.vedicmaths.org. The development of these tutorials requires full time work for a prolonged period of time: hence the requirement to cover the cost of my wages and other development costs. It is my belief that the development of this material will transform the teaching of mathematics and allow people to become human calculators. This has the potential to transform education and what people actually can learn. Please see the attached PDF document for more details of our funding requirements and Thank You".

ASE/PL002	EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT AUSTRALIA Educational Assessment Australia (EAA) offers the opportunity for corporations to expose their brand to over two million global students each year. EAA is a division of UNSW Global Pty Limited, a not-for-profit, wholly owned subsidiary of the University of New South Wales (UNSW). EAA's primary product is the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS), a suite of six annual tests for primary and secondary school students in the core skill areas of Computer Skills, English, Mathematics, Science, Spelling and Writing. ICAS are paper-based assessments which have a competition element where student(s) with the top score in each subject area in each year level receives an ICAS-UNSW medal. Students in the last two years of secondary school who are awarded with ICAS medals are some of the best and brightest students in the world. Each year ICAS tests attract over two million students from over twenty countries and in 2011 EAA celebrated thirty years of offering ICAS to students. EAA is interested in opening dialog with corporations to sponsor an ICAS test; in return the organisation's brand will be placed on the front page of the test to identify their partnership with EAA, along with reference to the organisation's involvement in EAA's website. There is also the opportunity for corporations to exhibit their products and services at EAA's annual medal award ceremonies. These events are held throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia. Contact: David Glasson, International Market Development.

ASE/PL003	THE MAHMOODIAH TRUST The Mahmoodiah Trust has been set up exclusively to raise funds to establish The Mahmoodiah Academy of Excellence, a secondary school for young females in a deprived area of the Punjab province in Pakistan. The institution will initially cater for a hundred students and provide an exemplary education. This is a grassroots development programme and its success relies on the co-operation and support of dedicated, passionate and committed individuals and organisations willing to share their skills and expertise as well as sacrifice their time. Training centres will be founded to offer teacher training to local females. Whereas it is hoped that the educational establishment will be a beacon which other schools may follow and to which they may aspire, it is also hoped that the entire project will benefit the community and country at large with regard to local investment, business and the economy. In a country which has long neglected the education of its citizens, especially girls, this project may be the only chance for many to gain a quality education and broaden the understanding of the world in which they live - and ultimately enhance their prospects for the future. With a team of dedicated volunteers who have amongst them a background in business, education and international development, The Mahmoodiah Trust is confident that with support and investment from related organisations, this project could eventually broaden its horizons and invest in other educational establishments in other developing countries.
