Friends and Family ! 

Recently, I was awarded a fellowship to pursue development work within the confines of southern India. The projects consist of environmental promotion to support community endeavors to generate income - ( I can elaborate but more information is posted within the urls). I will be committed to this program for one year beginning August 2009.

This is an excellent opportunity to finally expand upon my current skill-set in public health, community outreach and science-based knowledge. I am writing this small missive in hopes for YOU to support me along this journey. Your support – emotionally, financially, or didactically – will be understandably necessary. The fellowship covers materials such as housing and domestic travel but large items need to be individually met – health insurance, visa, airfare and etc. 

To support these community efforts, I have set-up a pay-pal account. Understanding that the economy sucks, any monetary support (in rupees, quid, euros and bucks) will be wonderful! I have also created another email account to those who would like to contribute via snail-mail - sashtienpondy@gmail.com.

More information about the project, my host city and the NGO are listed below:

Please please Please forward this message to fellow interested souls. (or any random person you meet works well too!) 

endearing wishes,
