Guys,
I saw the information regarding the annual IDCA conference in Chicago.
And I was wondering, if there is scope for looking at different conferences to attend?
To put it selfishly, we have achieved majority of objectives from IDCA; viz. developing contacts with the organizers, introduced Sankalp at the forum; met many of the speakers; hopefully generated enough 'useful' contacts in India.

One important concern with IDCA seems to be absence of biggies like ASHA, AID etc. And some contacts in these organizations could be very useful to Sankalp (both in USA and India). Long time ago (July 2001), we attended `Manthan' a conference organized by ASHA in Madison, Wisconsin. Before that (in 2000, I think), Anil (Gannepalli, our past president) attended a conference organized by AID, Boston. And we have benefited fairly with our association with AID in particular (in terms of  projects, guest speaker in Ames etc).

Unfortunately pan-NGO conferences like SIF2002 (Serve India Forum, 2002) don't happen anymore! But we can explore options other than IDCA.
This email is just to initiate a new discussion thread please.
Your thoughts?

I was wondering if Sankalp would be interested in screening 'the incredible truth' a couple of times for member/students. As most of you know its the documentary on global warming by Al Gore. If we agree, it could be screened on a small scale at someone's house. Do post your thoughts on this.

Hello All    I found couple of interesting links which talks about Ecological Footprint   
Analysis. They also have one report for the City of Santa Monica. The report   is only 
10 pages and it looks like a good example to go through.    
Here are the links :

Hi, For all those who are involved in translation project (or even otherwise), there is a very decent English to Hindi translator available which is developed by IIT-Kanpur. http://anglahindi.iitk.ac.in/translation.htm

Hope it helps!
