I'm the head of an organization called Project PM which is in the early stages of setting up a program to assist with sustainable development in Africa and developing efficient ways for other orgs to do likewise, and I had a couple of questions for you. First, is there a local chapter of your org in Austin? Secondly, we're preparing an educational program whereby we plan to distribute information on easily-implemented but little-known engineering projects involving pumps, water wheels, and other simple procedures by which to improve the productivity of African villages, and we were wondering if your organization would be interested in distributing those pamphlets by way of your partnered organizations on that continent. We'd also be interested in learning about other ways by which we could assist your organization; I write for Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, and a variety of other publications, so at the very least I could help to increase awareness of what you're doing and how others could help.
Please get back to me at your convenience if you'd be interested.
