[Educationsupport] Education Emergency Coalition - education support group meeting postponed

[anusha sharma]

Dear all,

The education support working group meeting that was scheduled for today 
has been *postponed to next Tuesday *as we are yet to receive the 
documentation of all the different projects as per the template.

We understand and are cognizant of your busy schedules but would 
appreciate if you could take some time out to fill the template and 
share it as soon as possible. We hope to compile these experiences and 
release the compilation which would help and encourage groups across the 
country who are working on similar programs. You could reach out to us 
if you need any kind of support.

Thanks & Regards,
Anusha
