Note from Krish

• Currently, DJVS does not have FCRA approval to
  receive foreign currency.  They are trying to
  fill the required forms and are gathering all
  support documents needed by the Home ministry.  
  Mr. Krishna Shetty, local DJVS contact person,
  has made several phone calls to India to clarify
  and provide support to the DJVS administrator in
  completing these forms.  I believe that the forms
  will be submitted early March.
•  
• The 2nd installment of funding to DJVS for the
  2004-2004 year is overdue.  As indicated in the
  attached summary, DJVS has made good progress
  last year and is using the AshaAZ funds as
  specified.  I suggest that we vote on this asap
  and find a way of sending the funds (via Asha
  India??) which were due in December.
•  
• DJVS will be requesting funding renewal for the
  2005-2006 year.  We need to arrange a site visit
  soon.  Krishna and Gowri Shetty visited DJVS in
  June/July 2004 and have given us their
  feedback and photos these have already been
  posted in the project website.
