will be leaving Wada Na Todo Abhiyan and the coordination of the GCAP work. As
Feminist Task Force we first of all want to wish you all the best in your next
commitment, wherever you go, and we are sure you will contribute to
transformation with the same enthusiasm you have done as an active and
committed member of GCAP and the FTF. We want to thank you for your
contribution to our network as women working towards gender equality for the
eradication of poverty. In particular we want to thank you for your
contribution to developing the idea and the implementation of the FTF poverty
tribunals. These tribunals had a great impact in those who presented testimonies,
in those who heard and tried to act in response, and in the public at large
that was sensitise in a very unique way of the sufferings, but also of the
constant struggle and hope, of women in India, in Peru, in Egypt, in New York
and in so many other places around the world. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=purple face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:purple'>Helena & Julien, thanks for
connecting on the MTF agenda. I think this is a good time to share the
conversations within Wada Na Todo Abhiyan about my own transition from the
campaign secretariat. Our core programs for the year 2008-09 will be wrapped up
by April end and I have accordingly have planned to move out at this time,
which also marks the completion of 3 years of my engagement with the Wada Na
Todo secretariat. We have just put out an ad for a new Campaign Co-ordinator
and expect that we would be able to find a replacement for the position by
April. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=purple face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:purple'>I would continue to relate to the
planning and activities of GCAP till this time while also working with the
Campaign Steering Group to identify other focal points within the campaign for
spaces such as the MTF, FTF, etc who could take forward this engagement and
work closely with the new Campaign Co-ordinator on this agenda post-April. My
colleague Suman Dasgupta is already engaging actively with the Climate Change
& G20 task groups. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=purple face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:purple'>However this mail is really to share
that I do leave with a sense of great pride in what has been collectively
accomplished by Wada Na Todo Abhiyan & GCAP in this period; deep gratitude
for the insights, experiences and relationships that have been built; and great
optimism for the future of the campaign. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>I do
want to thank each one of you for being such great friends and co-travelers in
this period- and assure you of a very special place in my heart</span></b> (and
hopefully by now also on my Facebook – please sign up if you
haven’t already!). I l also look forward to many more opportunities to
engage with each of you – and with the added excitement of new
destinations and perspectives. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
