 The training material provided here is useful and interesting. Together, the
 more than 400 documents provide a complete course of study and reference for
 community workers, in how to stimulate a community to become stronger, and how
 to manage a process of regional development intervention.

 The intention from the beginning was to provide this material for community
 workers in the field (starting with those with no training at all in the
 craft), and for their trainers and managers. Since these recipients were
 expected to be living in low income countries, the material was intended to be
 free.

 Producing this material, however, is not free. Many costs are arising from its
 production. It is necessary to recoup some of those expenses. Furthermore, many
 of those who are reading and benefiting from this material are not low income
 community workers. They include libraries, research institutions, international
 non-governmental organizations, universities (both students and faculty), and
 commercial firms that provide management, advice and guidance to poor countries
 but are paid market rate fees from international donor agencies.

 Word versions of the documents will be sent for free upon request to volunteers
 who want to translate them into other languages.

 For that reason, you are requested to use and review the material for free, but
 if you use it professionally, you pay a market level fee for its use.

 If you are running a workshop, you can print the web pages and reproduce them
 By first downloading them from the web site. No charge.
