 One example can involve stepping into the education sphere and at this juncture helping teachers. Many of these bi-lingual teachers are not really aware of the mindset of ethnic minorities and very often guest speakers in Johannesburg can quite effectively bring in that whiff of realization that is so much necessary to make these teachers wake up to the seriousness of the problem at hand.  In one instance overseas, for example, it required the presence of a guest speaker of the stature of Lily Wong Fillmore, a renowned expert on linguistic minorities, to make teachers realize that many parents of Latino families actually do not want their children to become aware of their native culture. These parents instead want them to forget their roots and become ‘cent per cent American'. Now, all right thinking people would agree that such a desire would only lead to confusion in these little minds as they struggle to balance between Latino atmosphere at home and their parents' unrealistic desire that they outgrow it. Children from such families tend to go astray while their teachers remain completely unaware of the issues that bother these young minds. Guests speakers in Johannesburg who is genuinely thorough in these delicate issues is not available in plenty but the need for them to reach out to as many teachers as possible is really acute and extremely urgent. To bridge this gap between demand and supply; a totally new concept, that of virtual guests, have started taking roots. These virtual or online communicators can remain at one place while interacting with pre-school and primary teachers sprinkled right across the country. As one can see, guest speakers in Johannesburg can be harnessed in very creative ways.
