In the News...

Yesterday we gave a presentation to the directors of the company that's sponsoring the Micro-credit program. I think it went pretty well. Everyone asked us lots of questions about what we thought the weak points were, and since we've been working with all the stakeholders and beneficiaries for the past two months, we had answers for all of their questions. They liked the monitoring tools we created, and were happy with the fact that they would allow CASP to easily generate reports on the progress of the program. It was really nice to wrap that project up and to see what a positive response it got from everyone. Here's a link to the final report we created for that project:

I also wanted to write about how there was a story in the Financial Times of India about our work at Rajagiri...

...but now there's a less upbeat story in the news. Here's an article from CNN.com, and one from The Hindu.

I don't know how big of a news story this has been in the US, but in case you hear anything I just wanted to let everyone know that things are fine here and we're all still safe and alive and everything. So, no need to worry! If you are worried anyway, here's the number you can reach me at: 91 (that's the country code) + 9745960925. But don't worry if you try to call and it doesn't go through because sometimes there just isn't very good reception
