Surya, Prasanthi is tied up co-ordinating other groups and relief efforts. Perhaps she missed out noticing this particular mail.
But anyways, can u pls take the initiative and just mail us what data u need, to go ahead. I dont' see why we cannot approach and introduce the group. I am sure most will comply with this. Meeku group telusu, history to all to-date telusu, much of the data is within the group website or home pages, we can help with whatever more you are looking to add to it. Suresh can give u pointers ofcourse. U can mail eachother directly on this aswell.
