Who is Jamie MacRae?

I have been a teacher for 34 years and have come to the point in my life where I am ready to step away from comfort...as is pointed out by David Houghton in his book The EFI Club...comfort leads to complacency and complacency leads to indifference...I also wanted to be able to assist the Get Ahead Project School in Queenstown South Africa by raising funds to assist the development of the school so that the children of the area will continue to receive a quality education that they may not have received in the post apartheid system...this is about my journey.
