Local Income Generation Project

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to this, but I should have made this post long ago. As you all should know, I am working on income generation projects for women in marginalized communities of Mumbai. Please take some time to check out this website:
www.bamboobychaitanya.org
This type of program is being implemented in many communities to foster women empowerment and provide equitable livelihood options for the rural and urban poor in developing countries.

Also, I was joking with Kitty about putting up a post entitled: "Thirty something single men: free spirit or selfish commitment phobe?" currently we have a sample size of one.. Can there be a more clear indication of one who watches too much SATC??!!

NGO's obviously don't have the same level of resources as a private company or even a governmental department. I have to supply my own pens, which often disappear if unattended. But just now i walked around the office searching for a paper clip, and finally settled for picking one up off the floor, staining the paper with rust. I think that is a new low.

dude, they are DEFINITELY committment phobes. every guy i have met who is in his 30s and unmarried will be a freewheeling bachelor until the ripe old age of 57, when he realizes he has to procreate before the sperm count gets terribly low.

that's my two cents!

Hello my dear,

Thanks so much for finally posting info on your project- now I can see what you've actually been working on!

P.S. As to the 30-something men question, I think you're missing the secret third category of "would commit but has some kind of horrible flaw that makes women run far far away"
