no touching :)

you might have problems if you say this. for 接触 we can say "you can get in touch with me".

Hello Kate,

At Pact, an international NGO, we are working with small grassroots organizations ran by people living with HIV (PLHIV) in four sites across Yunnan and Guangxi to implement livelihoods development interventions for people affected by HIV. The interventions have been designed to help local PLHIV and their families deal with the destabilizing economic shocks that are often experienced by people when they are first diagnosed HIV positive, including
job losses, business failures and the accumulation of expensive medical debts that seem impossible to repay. Through the creation of small peer-led entrepreneur groups, local PLHIV in urban and rural areas have been supported to develop small businesses to help them rebuild their livelihoods, self-confidence and social networks. A micro-loan scheme has also been included in this intervention.

We are entering a phase in our program when we will soon be no longer able to support these nascent organizations. While success has been achieved programatically as well in developing local ownership of projects, the long-term organizational stability of our partners would be benefited from further capacity building activities that Project008 may be able to offer. Our goal is for our partners to be able to have the capacity to support the scale up of this project in other sites.

To learn more about our program and our partners, please feel free to contact me at: flamacchia at pactworld.org.

picked up my passport today no hassles. 168 RMB.

my g4 died a similar death last year. that's the problems with macs, one day they're fine, the next they're terminal. at least windows machines give you signs of their withering decline into scrap metal.

You have to cross the border by foot, not in a taxi. There is a MTR station on both sides of the border where you can do it. Then you can get in your Hong kong taxi.
