Efforts less connections!
Wierd how things started to happen when I gave up and went for a massage. A lady I met in Washington DC who founded the Women's Regional Network e-mailed me back after I told her about some of our ideas for a Kashmiri women's network/fund. That led to another e-mail to one of her close colleagues, Abha and then a the founder of Jagori, a feminist NGO that works to educate men and women on gender issues as well as assist rural women with income generation. There project in Dharamsla is http://www.jagorigrameen.org/ and the NGO at http://jagori.org/ The founders of Jagori also do training through another NGO called Sangat. They will be conducting a month long training in Nepal in September for women from all over South Asia. So I have to get my application in. http://sangatsouthasia.org/
Abha lives n Delhi but is now in Daharamsala giving a training. What are the chances we would be here at the same time? Anyway I met with her and the other ladies of Jagori yesterday at their Women's Training and Research Academy. A beautiful place with garden and retreat facilities for workshops. Jagori has been fighting for women's equality and rights since the 80's and have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. I am so happy to meet with them and hopefully get some pointers for the Kashmir women's project.
