My name is T.K.Rengarajan. My nickname is Ranga. I run the Geoseed Project, a non-profit with a mission to stimulate the desire for learning in children, specifically girls.
I connected with Jessica long time back. I recently got word that our Geopack reached the Mutanywana Secondary School. I look forward to discussions.
Welcome aboard, Ranga! Have you been keeping up with the discussion in the Payment Options issue/section? Specifically the most recent discussions about the possibility of us finding a fiscal sponsor with 501(c)(3) status?
Has Geospeed worked with international organizations in this capacity before? Would you be interested in perhaps in playing this role for the BWC, if it were decided they want to pursue the Open Meadows Foundation grant?
Christmas is fast approaching and we can feel the festive mood everywhere. Christmas parties, family reunions and school gatherings are common these days. Christmas is the season of love, sharing and caring. We, here in Nabuur, have contributed to the cause of the community and making the lives of these people better. And what a help it is! We have touched their very hearts because we care. We bring hope and lots of smile to the people we are helping.
I am extending my warmest yuletide greetings to all of you. I wish you all good health, family blessings and success in life for the coming year 2007!

Nice to have you with us,

Marianne,
We have not worked with international organizations along the lines you indicate.
We're a volunteer organization working at grassroots level in the Silicon Valley.
