In late 2007 we began to see early signs of the global recession in our customer base. As gas prices began to rise and budgets tightened, our customers cut back on their mobile usage in order to optimize spending. We recognized that a shift was occuring in consumer mindset from some of the extravagances of the previous few years to a focus on value. At Virgin Mobile USA, we have always focused on providing value and fl exibility to our customers, allowing them to change plans according to their budgetary needs so they can get the most from their wireless service. We realized that now more than ever, we needed to emphasize our value proposition and focus our message on the value we off er to consumers. And so we began to implement a number of strategic and operational initiatives in 2008 that focused on value – on the value we bring to consumers, as well as putting the right operational initiatives in place to build shareholder value.

TSIP is Teach For Bulgaria’s ‘learning loop’ which allows us to incentivize, track, and collect case studies to be used in training and knowledge sharing among TFB teachers and beyond. For five years we have benefited from the best practice examples of TFB teachers who go above and beyond to facilitate and motivate student progress. On June 11th Teach For Bulgaria in partnership with America for Bulgaria Foundation and Plovidv University, we held the annual TSIP conference, “Education for the success of every child”. The TSIP conference brought together the larger TFB community, including teachers, alumni, pricipals of partner schools and prospective partners, corporate and individual supporters, representatives of educational institutions in Bulgaria and members of the TFALL partner network. We were honoured by the opening remarks and encourgaements by the deputy minister of education and science, Deyan Stamatov, the president of the republic of Bulgaria, Rosen Plevneliev, the Dutch Royal princess Laurentien van Oranje, and the deputy mayor of the city of Plovdiv, Stefan Stoianov. Teach For Bulgaria is incredibly grateful for the attendance and recognition of these esteemed guests.
