PHA-Exchange> Announcement: PHM-Geneva International

[pamzinkin]

This is really good news. I am sure we all really appreciate your 
enterprise and help.
As PHA/PHM Europe we need to work together on all of this. David Woodward 
is the focal point for the Europe co-ordinating circle so would be the 
obvious link. A great deal is being planned around 25th Anniversary . We 
have just finished a core group meeeting in Savar, Bangladesh and you will 
all be getting information very soon.
On a separate note what are the implications of being an ngo registered 
under Swiss Law? Are there any constraints eg political activity?
