It was interpreted that we need to be a bit more resourceful in raising funds. Marathon funds might not be enough to support projects on its own in the future. At this point, we are covered for the next year.\

6. We discussed the possibilities of partnering with Manipal Foundation. It was very important that the project partner agrees to the whole idea and is willing to participate in such an arrangement. We felt Timbaktu might be better placed and interested in such an arrangement. Sanjeev will follow up with Timbaktu in this regard.

7. We discussed the possibility of funding Srikanth's\'castipend when he is at Vanya's place for training/learning in woodwork. It was decided that we have to discuss this a bit more with Thulir (Anu and Krishna) and ACCORD, Gudalur (Ramdas) before a decision can be taken on it. Sanjeev/Anita will discuss this at Thulir and get back to us.
