Where are you teaching? How is your citizen journalism course coming along? A colleague of mine just piloted a journalism class here in New Haven.

- Hi Rizvi,
Proposal coordination is actually quite dull. The US government issues a request for proposal, then we (usually with a team of other companies) put together a proposal to bid on the work the government wants done. The goal is to win contracts. My role is to coordinate all aspects of the proposal preparation process, making sure we have all necessary information, editing it, and ensuring the presentation is professional.
Are you working on any interesting projects?

Jodi Williams said… - Hello! Thanks for the message ~ I really enjoy the way you express yourself! I've never had a friend who was a documentary film maker from Pakistan either (do know a Jewish Canadian one). I have often been told I would be an interesting topic ~ the right opportunity hasn't materialized yet.
I'm planning to be in your part of the world in 2 years. Perhaps in the meantime we can come up with something and I can extend my stay? One never knows...
I hope you are well and am gratefuly for your acquaintance.
With many blessings,
Jodi
