The drama continues, sadly… :-(

The latest on the vegetable project is that CISP seem to be trying different angles to get money from ASH. Their latest trick is to reject our ideas for materials required for the project, even though this was in the approved proposal!?! Unfortunately, the one person we could go to for support is out of the country (it really is who you know, not what you know in this country!).

The next person in control has more-or-less stated that we should make a friend of his a vegetable consultant for the project ie give this person project money! Other than this process being unfair, the approved proposal states clearly that we have a vegetable expert on the team, so what will a consultant add? Nothing. It is ridiculous.

CISP have also outright requested 50,000 rupees (approx £400) to continue the work. They have even said to our chairwoman that she must meet a ‘social organiser’ if the project is to succeed? That sounds like a threat.

Pay the money? Do you really think this will allow the project to happen easily? Will this stop them harassing us? No, so ASH will never give in to such bully tactics – never ever!

But, our life is made so much harder, as a result.
