Dear Melli,

I promised to send you the accounts long ago. I hope the long delay has not caused inconveniences. The boys have also given me the coming year's budget. I will send it to you sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile there is so much I want to write about in Natpurwa. There is so much we have to do there. In no way must the girls of our school ever take to prostitution. I also feel me as ''a woman of the mainstream'' going and camping there for a while, say for a week or two, will make a big difference. I got the idea when on a recent visit I was invited to an engagement ceremony. I hit it off rather well with the local folk. And I want to build on that.

There is so much we have to learn from Natpurwa, especially about communal harmony.

Will write in detail later. Meanwhile, here are last year's accounts:
