AID Pittsburgh supports the initiative and the arrival of Shashiraj as a full timer

We started dialoguing with AID Pittsburgh for supporting the initiative to be scaled upto a Neighbourhood unit of 25 acres and AID Pittsburgh has agreed to support the initiative for the Budget lines that have been mentioned in the previous sections

The Arrival of Shashiraj as a Full time Coordinator for the Livelihood Initiative

Increasingly we were feeling the need of a Full time Coordinator to run the day to day processes in the places. Also particularly Chintamani where there was no social processes unlike MGHalli we needed a person who would be stationed in that place, understand the local dynamics, start the social processes, the work, run the initiative for sometime till a local coordinator emerges when it could be handed over. He would then move to another place or keep coordinating all the places where we would be starting the initiative
