Hi Mary, liked your profile! Keen on connecting with you.

I'm working with Aadhaar, a development consulting firm based out of India. We are currently profiling various nonprofits organizations and I'm looking for volunteers who could help us with reviewing (content accuracy, structuring and language) the same. Would really appreciate if you could suggest some directions in this regards. Please write to me at aarti@trustaadhaar.org.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, Aarti Krishnan
