Dear Arun
Thank you very much for this introduction.
Dear Rajaraman
Welcome to our group! We may have met / interacted earlier when I used to
volunteer with Asha- DE/NJ chapters.
We will be having the next meeting of this group on August 31, 2021,
Tuesday, from 5-630 PM. We would be very happy to have you share some of
the initiatives that you may be aware of. You will have about 20 minutes
for your presentation.
In the meanwhile, I am sharing with you a template that we have circulated
for documenting the interventions. If you could share these with the
initiatives that you are working with, for them to document their work, it
would be of immense value. We can also interview the groups and
transcribe, in case any of them is very hard pressed to
write. Do circulate this amongst your network.
Looking forward to your participation and do let me know if we can add
your email ID to this mailing list.
Best regards
Ranjani
