Dear Pablo:
(1) Pls visit my previous list distribution =B3(02/05/02) Following the suit
of our Amazon project in Latin America=B2 at
http://www.friends-partners.org/pipermail/gu-l/2002q1/date.html
> Many thanks again for your letter of support for our InfoDev grant applic=
ation
> =8B even letting Mr.James D. Wolfensohn, President of the World Bank know a=
bout
> our project. Sorry it was declined.
(2) We discussed at our mtg on 1/30th at Harvard Club in Manhattan, about
your project of establishing =B3Virtual University of Health Sciences of Lati=
n
America and the Caribbean=B2 in south of Orinoco River in your Venezuela, as
connecting even a tropical disease center there.
> BTW, I attended a conference with delegates from Yanomami tribe at the Bi=
ldner
> Center of CUNY in the evening of 4/10th. I think your project may also b=
e
> able to help them, too, since they live both sides of Venezuela and Brazi=
l.
(3) At that time, I suggested you to apply for the Grass Root Fund, which
application you can obtain at the Japan Embassy in Caracas, Venezuela.
Albeit small (up to about US$75,000), this can provide you with a seed mone=
y
for your start-up, say, for your planned workshop in Caracas, as we
discussed at our mtg.
(4) Ms. Matsuda kindly informed me the address of the embassy =8B see
ATTACHMENT I below.
When you get it, pls send me its original and your English translation,
since I would like to compile them into our web;
