Thanx Maruti on your leads, is there someone on the list<br>
from these or other organisations wishing to share their<br>
experiences and challenges? Can we also hear from the<br>
Workshop group at Lenana House? Harry Hare?<br>
<br>
I know we have two days on this theme but we need to talk<br>
before they are over and we have to move onto the Private<br>
Sector Initiatives.<br>
