"Digital Links was founded with the vision of helping people in the developing world have access to information technology to improve their lives. We take donations of computers from UK companies and distribute them in developing countries."

You can watch a video of their work here:

SunWALK is a framework to help you articulate your model of (holistic) education & evaluate others.

My own work, using the SunWALK framework suggests

a spiritualizing (or humanizing) pedagogy of human education as:

the storied development of meaning, which is constructed, and de-constructed, physically

mentally and spiritually, through

Wise & Willing Action, via Loving and Knowing – developed in Community, through

the ‘Dialectical Spiritualization’ of Caring,

Creativity & Criticality processes, all undertaken in the light of the ‘Sun’ of chosen

higher-order values and beliefs, using best

available, appropriate content.

What then is the real difference between the 'holistically minded teacher/practitioner'

and the 'non holistically-minded teacher/practitioner'?

After thinking about this for the last 14 years my best answer to date is that;

the holistically minded practitioner is trying to do each particular thing, theoretical and practical,

with consciousness of connections with, and between, all pertinent contexts - environmental

context, social justice context etc. - right up to and including some sense of the Whole.
