AMDA's Role Continued...

[Nancy Swart]

Amda will continue to take the initiative required to convert the industry into a sustainable and legal one.

Thank you, Steve. This is the answer I was looking for. I sincerely wish you well in taking on the training program. It's sad that we don't have more people willing and trained to do this. Until I began following this forum again, I also had no idea how dangerous a job this was so you are truly to be commended.

As for being in the hot seat here...get used to it. It's part of the job description as being Prez of a non-profit group.

Nancy,

At IMAC, Steve showed me some "back of the envelope" figures for where they want to train, what they needed in supplies and what salaries would be.

Frankly, for working in an area like Mindanao, I would want the entire budget as salary... The amount he has budgeted for himself for a year is peanuts. This is a man on a mission to train, and it sure isn't for the money...

Regards.
Mike Kirda

Well Mike, the support from hobbyists that Mary's fundraising drive has gotten has proven that there are many people willing to help if somebody tells us HOW.

If and when this information ever becomes public, we'll be better prepared to solicit funding.
