Happy birthday Dipti! I hope you have a wonderful day. The skies are weeping with happiness for you.

I also want to sincerely apologize for being absent from Medavo for the last few months. My internet access is poor in Sierra Leone but now I am back and would like to be more in touch while I’m here.

I want to send ^sincere^ though belated birthday wishes to Mitesh, Ashish, Dad, Vasu fui, Avni, and Duncan ji. And happy anniversary wishes to Vishal and Dipti, Jayanti Kaka and Jaya Kaki, and Jyoti Fui and Suresh fua. (have I forgotten anyone else from the last few months?). And to thank you all for your happy birthday wishes to me in march, which were a warm touch of home while I was far away.

Paras somehow the fact that you dove from 10,000 ft. had escaped me! I’d love to jump with you next time.

It was great to see some of you in Cleveland, and some of you in Norwalk.

just to take a poll: anybody supporting barack obama for 2008?

and another: anybody read any outstanding books lately? I love “Creation” by E.O. Wilson: an appeal from a renowned evolutionary biologist (I took his class in college) for science and religion to put aside their differences and make common cause to save our environmental heritage. It is such a compelling argument, expressed with both passion and reason.

also: our program in sierra leone has a website now, have a look at timapforjustice.org

nim- is the poetry site online yet?

Much love,
