Hi Hempal and Ganesh,
Thanks so much for the update. Look forward to hearing from you later

you draft a proposal.
Cheers,
Alex

Dear Alex, Ganesh ji,
Me also just under work pressure as financial year closing. Will be
away for a week early next week and will be back Nepal on July 21. Look
forward than to workout the future action activities. Lets work out as how
we can keep continuing our Wiki initiatives in Nepal.
With kind regards
