Dear Dr. Kelly,
Hope this letter finds you in good health and spirit.
The small grant you are proopagating is really SNALL.
Would any western scholar ever touch a research
,workshop scheme with just $1000. Then why provide
this carrot to developing country scholars.
I would like to take up collaborative research with
you on social, economic and psychological issues in
disaster reduction.
With warmest regards
Durgadas Mukhopadhyay
