Dear Amit Seasons Greetings from Seva Mandir! I wanted to share with you that the second seasonal residential learning school concluded recently and the third and final seasonal school of the year is scheduled to begin by 20th January. The five Activity centres of Badgaon have also now stabilized and functioning smoothly. We are attaching a small update on one of the centres along with the mail. Additionally, Amit as you know, the current funding from ASHA ends on 31st January, 2010. We would have some budget left over from this project. We would therefore like you to give us a no- cost extension of this project till 31st March, 2010. More importantly, Amit we wanted to discuss with you about the future support from ASHA. ASHA has been supporting us for over two years now and the support has been very valuable for us. On one hand, it has allowed us to continue our core programmes while also enabling us to explore newer areas like the Activity Centres. We would very much like you to kindly think about renewing this support. Please do let us know if and how will this be possible. I will be quite happy to talk to you about this over phone also. Warm Regards Gunjan
