Hi Nachi, thanks for your message. Yes, we are still interested and are looking forward in pursuing the project with you. Please let us know what your proposal for a possible schedule could be. How about arranging a first meeting in the end of February? At the moment we are having a very busy time as the attacks on our region as well as the peoples' resistance are continuing... And of course we can imagine that the attacks against your communities will also amplify under the 'new' US government. Therefore it is even more important that we connect our efforts for a life in freedom and dignity for everyone.
