Hey Jayantha, Biswarup,
Do you think a letter from the foundation or chapter will help? Or maybe if Hisham speaks
with the GUILD office directly? I'm just thinking of various ways to work around this.
This is a great opportunity for us to do a massive outreach in Kolkata and it will be a
pity if we loose it. I'll be more than happy to help in anyway possible. Please let me
know.
Thanks
Nitika
